[New-bugs-announce] [issue15331] Missing codec aliases for bytes-bytes codecs

[Nick Coghlan]

New submission from Nick Coghlan <ncoghlan at gmail.com>:

In writing a post looking at a potentially different way of handling codec pipelines that is source compatible across both Python 2 and 3, I noticed that the bytes-bytes codec aliases are all missing but are still listed in the documentation as being supported:

base64_codec 	base64, base-64
bz2_codec 	bz2
hex_codec 	hex

quopri_codec 	quopri, quoted-printable, quotedprintable
uu_codec 	uu
zlib_codec 	zip, zlib

The canonical names (i.e. *_codec) all work as expected, though.
