Fine, so we need new methods for PyUnicode and PyString objects

Any suggestions ?

How about these:

str.str_encode() -> str
str.str_decode() -> str

bytes.bytes_encode() -> bytes
bytes.bytes_decode() -> bytes

Cool, a naming contest :)

What about transform/untransform?

Not bad :-)

Here's a version without underscores:

str.encodestr() -> str
str.decodestr() -> str

bytes.encodebytes() -> bytes
bytes.decodebytes() -> bytes

A couple more possibilities (Guido is probably going to have to choose a colour for this bikeshed somewhere along the line...):

mystr.recodeto('unicode-escaped')
mystr.recodefrom('unicode-escaped')

mybytes.recodeto('hex')
mybytes.recodefrom('hex')

Cheers,
Nick.
