[issue7475] codecs missing: base64 bz2 hex zlib hex_codec ...

[Nick Coghlan]

Nick Coghlan added the comment:

Attached patch restores the aliases for the binary and text transforms, adds a test to ensure they exist and restores the "Aliases" column to the relevant tables in the documentation. It also updates the relevant section in the What's New document.

I also tweaked the wording in the docs to use the phrases "binary transform" and "text transform" for the affected tables and version added/changed notices.

Given the discussions on python-dev, the main condition that needs to be met before I commit this is for Victor to change his current -1 to a -0 or higher.
