I too think that a PEP is required here.
Fair enough. I'll write a PEP.
Thank you from me.
Codecs support several types of error handling that don't make sense for
transform()/untransform(). What should 'abc'.decode('hex', 'replace')
do? (In 2.6 it raises an assertion error, because errors *must* be strict).
I would expext either ValueError: errors arg must be 'strict' for
trransform or else TypeError: tranform takes 1 arg, 2 given.
That's not really an issue since codecs don't have to implement
all error handling schemes.
For starters, they will all only implement 'strict' mode.
