Using idna codec

[j-bernard]

As per the documentation I tried using idna codec but it still uses the one from encodings.idna.

>>> import idna.codec
>>> codecs.encode('fuß', 'idna')
b'fuss'
>>> codecs.getencoder('idna')
<bound method Codec.encode of <encodings.idna.Codec object at 0x7ff6eb158fa0>>

I also tried registering the codec with idna.codec.getregentry with the same result. Am I missing something here?

I haven't found an obvious way to do this, but it probably requires more investigation as to whether it is possible to override an internal codec. In the meantime I can register an encoder with the name 'idna2008' without problem, maybe that is a compromise approach.

I took some time to investigate and did not find a way to make it work either. Thanks for the update.
