The fact that the codec names are normalized via the normalizestring function is an implementation detail, so the test should be written ignoring that detail, to the extent possible. This includes its documentation, so...

Hm, I considered this details before. Why I am still leave this detail?
IMHO, leave enough details can help developers to maintain.

You're welcome to add a comment after the doc-string. I wouldn't want the doc-string to mention normalizestring, though, unless we change the test to call normalizestring() directly instead of codecs.lookup(), which I don't recommend.

From my experience, however, such comments often become outdated when the implementation changes. And outdated comments causing confusion are usually worse than no comments.

Also, if someone needs to see the details, they'll likely need to go through the code starting at codecs.lookup() anyways. It's relatively straightforward to follow: codecs imports lookup from _codecs, implemented in Modules/_codecsmodule.c. lookup() is a simple wrapper for _PyCodec_Lookup from Python/codecs.c. With the imports and wrappers out of the way, _PyCodec_Lookup calls normalizestring() near the top of the function, immediately after a bit of initialization.

Thanks for your share, Tal. It's make sense :)
