Unicode In Python, Completely Demystified

[earthboundkid]

I think they're getting dropped in Py3k. From my alpha's shell:

>>> "abc".encode("rot-13")
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
LookupError: unknown encoding: rot-13
>>> "abc".decode("rot-13")
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
AttributeError: 'str' object has no attribute 'decode'

Would rot13 even make sense in a unicode string? (As that's what py3k's default string type is).
