I've provided UTF-32 codecs and implementations of codecs.encode and codecs.decode, with some modest accommodation in the tests to Jython's allergy to invalid unicode escapes. I have chosen not to implement _codecs.readbuffer_encode and _codecs.charbuffer_encode. I don't properly understand the issues, but I gather they were intended as an aid to codec writers in CPython and their retention was controversial. My judgement is they won't be missed. There's a case for refactoring codecs.java and _codec.java, and for enforcing the bytes vs. unicode distinction in the signatures, but that's another issue. The other shortcomings (IDNA and CJK) are covered by other issues so I'm closing this.
