A while ago I wanted to pack as much information as
possible into a string of printable characters, and
I came up with a base-95 encoding that packs 9 bytes
into 11 characters.

I was running the test suite and I noticed test_uuid's warning message
is still up:
test_uuid
WARNING: uuid.getnode is unreliable on many platforms.
It is disabled until the code and/or test can be fixed properly.

See also http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/April_Fools%27_Day_RFC -- it has
a ton of these. Great fun reading through some of them on an idle

RFC 1924, published on April 1, 1996, to short
The standard high-bit-density encoding past base-64 is base-85
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ascii85), which encodes 4 binary bytes
as 5 ascii bytes, versus 3 binary bytes as 4 ascii bytes. It works,
is an RFC somewhere, ... and maybe should find it's way into the
Python standard library's codec p
It's true, I didn't pay attention to that.
So the next encoding possible would of base-128 (7-bits encoding),
althought I don't know if were possible since that there would than
use non-printable characters and could change the text (by use of
chars. as Backspace or Delete).
