Other encodings are either missing completely from the stdlib, or have
corrupted behavior. For example, string_escape is gone, and
unicode_escape doesn't make any sense anymore -- python code is text,
not bytes, so why does 'abc'.encode('unicode_escape') return bytes? I
don't think this change was thought through completely before it was
implemented.
I agree base64 is a bad place to pick at the encode/decode changes, though. :(
