No. I would just use uu.encode instead, which already does the loop,
and everything else. So if I really wanted a string-to-string
conversion, I would do
infile = StringIO(input)
outfile = StringIO()
uu.encode(infile, outfile)
output = outfile.getvalue()
More likely, I have file-like objects already, in which case I won't
need to create StringIO objects.
