You're more then welcome. I'm just happy to give something back.

Both of these modules privde a static method, sencode(), that creates a
local instance of the encoder, and then invokes the encode() method on it.
These static functions are thread safe.
It should be easy enough to swap the implementations of these functions if
that is what is desired.
I think this would be preferrable to making the encode methods synchronized.
In my opinion, the use of member vairables makes the code easier to
understand, and it additionaly means that the code doesn't have to pass
quite as many variables across the stack when invoking its private internal
methods.
If there are recommendations, or standards for the thread-safe design you're
looking for, I'd be very willing to try to get these modules to fit them.

Unfortunatly I can't comment on the corectness of the implementation. I'll
see if I can re-compare it to other implementaitons to find any dfferences.
Thanks again,
