> *.encode('rot_13') ==> CodecLookupError
I like the idea of raising a lookup error on .encode/.decode if the codec is
not a classic text codec (like ASCII or UTF-8).
> *.transform('ascii') ==> CodecLookupError
Same comment.
> str.transform('bz2') ==> CodecLookupError
A lookup error is surprising here. It may be a TypeError instead. The bz2 can
be used with .transform, but not on str. So:
- Lookup error if the codec cannot be used with encode/decode or
transform/untransform
- Type error if the value type is invalid
(CodecLookupError doesn't exist, you propose to define a new exception who
inherits from LookupError?)
