How about a 'full' form and a 'key' form generated by the function: def codec_key(name): return name.lower().replace("-", "").replace("_", "") The key form would be the key to an available codec, and the key generated by a user-supplied codec name would have to match one of those keys. For example: Full: "UTF-8", key: "utf8". Full: "ISO-8859-1", key: "iso88591".

How about a 'full' form and a 'key' form generated by the function:

def codec_key(name):
    return name.lower().replace("-", "").replace("_", "")

The key form would be the key to an available codec, and the key
generated by a user-supplied codec name would have to match one of those
keys.

For example:

Full: "UTF-8", key: "utf8".

Full: "ISO-8859-1", key: "iso88591".
