Not according to the latest reST documentation:

"""
* Encoding converts a string object to a bytes object using a
particular character set encoding (e.g., cp1252 or iso-8859-1).

* Decoding converts a bytes object encoded using a particular
character set encoding to a string object.
""" http://docs.python.org/dev/library/codecs.html?highlight=codecs#codecs.Codec.encode

> A typical example is a same-type codec such as rot13 that only transforms Unicode data.

I thought rot13 would only transform English (or Latin) alphabet.
