I wonder, whether koi8-u.py would be included in Python 2.3? If not, I could submit one.

Such a codec is already included in Python CVS.

Though I'm not the author, it seems correct.

Maxim submitted this codec a while ago. It has a few bugs. The version in CVS is compliant to the RFC and also faster:

""" Python Character Mapping Codec for KOI8U.

This character scheme is compliant to RFC2319
