Some smaller changes made to the core Python language are:
-* :class:`bytes` and :class:`str` now have two net methods, *transform* and
- *untransform*. These provide analogues to *encode* and *decode* but are used
- for general purpose str-to-str and bytes-to-bytes transformations rather than
- Unicode codecs for bytes-to-str and str-to-bytes.
-
- Along with the new methods, several non-unicode codecs been restored from Python 2.x
- including *base64*, *bz2*, *hex*, *quopri*, *rot13*, *uu*, and *zlib*.
-
- >>> t = b'which witch had which witches wrist watch'
- >>> t.transform('quopri')
- b'which=20witch=20had=20which=20witches=20wrist=20watch'
-
- >>> short = t.transform('zlib_codec')
- >>> len(t), len(short)
- (41, 38)
- >>> short.untransform('zlib_codec')
- b'which witch had which witches wrist watch'
-
- (From multiple contributors in :issue:`7475`.)
-
* String formatting for :func:`format` and :meth:`str.format` gained new
capabilities for the format character **#**. Previously, for integers in
binary, octal, or hexadecimal, it caused the output to be prefixed with '0b',
