Well, I did. It was necessary to get 2to3 conversion to work(*). I turned every
occurence of
E.encode('base-64')
and
E.decode('base-64')
into helper function calls that for Python 3 did:
b64encode(E).decode('ascii')
and
b64decode(E.encode('ascii'))
(Or something similar, I don't have the code in front of me.)
Leaving out .decode/.encode('ascii') would simply not have worked. That would
just be asking for TypeError's.

(*) Yes, I use 2to3, believe it or not. Maintaining Python 2 code and doing an
automated conversion to Python 3 as needed.
