Fine, so we need new methods for PyUnicode and PyString objects
which allow encoding and decoding using the same type (and enforce
the return types).
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')
Nah. I'm still in favor of [un]transform. Let's just stick to that.
Ok, so I'll add
str.transform() -> str (uses the encode function of the codec)
str.untransform() -> str (uses the decode function of the codec)
bytes.transform() -> bytes (uses the encode function of the codec)
bytes.untransform() -> bytes (uses the decode function of the codec)
Is there an easy way to SVN-revive the removed base64, hex, etc
codec modules in encodings ? As far as I remember, I have to look
for the revision just before they were deleted and then "copy" them
from there using the repo URL.
