I don't know nuthin about just desserts. As I wrote earlier in response to Jim, what I would *expect* to be provided by this interface (not necessarily named "encode" and "decode", but invoked as a method with a transformation name as parameter) are those transformations that are "like codecs": stream-oriented and invertible. _______________________________________________ Python-3000 mailing list Python-3000@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-3000 Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-3000/archive%40mail-archive.com
