No it isn't. In Python 3, str.encode() always encodes to bytes and
bytes.decode() always decodes to str. IOW, str.encode() encodes text (Unicode)
to data (bytes), and bytes.decode() decodes data to text. ROT-13 is not a
character encoding, so it cannot be used in this manner.
It's still available in the codecs module, though:
>>> import codecs
>>> codecs.lookup('rot-13').encode('qwerty')
('djregl', 6)
Other text->text and bytes->bytes codecs are also available there.
