You can ask the same question about all the other codecs. (And that question has indeed been asked in the past.)
Except for rot13. :-)
The fact that you can do this instead *is* a bit odd. ;)
from codecs import getencoder encoder = getencoder('rot-13') r13 = encoder('hello world')[0]
Just as reminder: we have the general purpose encode()/decode() functions in the codecs module: import codecs r13 = codecs.encode('hello world', 'rot-13') These interface directly to the codec interfaces, without enforcing type restrictions. The codec defines the supported input and output types. -- Marc-Andre Lemburg eGenix.com Professional Python Services directly from the Source (#1, Apr 23 2013)
