This standard defines the Base16, Base32, and Base64 algorithms for encoding and
decoding arbitrary binary strings into text strings that can be safely sent by
email, used as parts of URLs, or included as part of an HTTP POST request.  The
encoding algorithm is not the same as the <strong class="program">uuencode</strong> program.</p>
<p>There are two interfaces provided by this module.  The modern interface supports
encoding and decoding string objects using both base-64 alphabets defined
in <span class="target" id="index-2"></span><a class="rfc reference external" href="https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3548.html"><strong>RFC 3548</strong></a> (normal, and URL- and filesystem-safe).  The legacy
interface provides for encoding and decoding to and from file-like objects as
well as strings, but only using the Base64 standard alphabet.</p>
<p>The modern interface, which was introduced in Python 2.4, provides:</p>
