With a little bit more work, you could have something you could pass to codecs.register()¹, so that you could encode and decode in the standard way:

    text = u'ႹЄLᒪo, ǃ'
    enc = text.encode('utf-9')
    dec = enc.decode('utf-9')
    assert text == dec

Apparently HN eats emoji. Ah, well.

Nice idea, I will try to implement it ;) I will probably have to pay attention to the final call for the IncrementalEncoder. In fact I let bitarray to add 0's at the end of the encoded data to comply with these pesky 8 bit architecture ;)
