And in Python 3, unfortunately there has been a right-royal mess made of 
the codecs system:

http://bugs.python.org/issue7475

So I expect that in Python 3.4 this will work:

"a piece of string".transform('rot13')

or this:

import codecs
codecs.encode('a piece of string', 'rot13')


but who knows really?
