Python base64 encoder

Playing with base64 encoding for educational purposes. If you need a business ready solution, better use the base64 python module.

Use it this way:

Start the interactive shell in the same directory in which the base64.py script is stored.

python3

>>> import base64

>>> encoder = base64.Base64Encoder()

>>> text = encoder.encode("Hello World")

>>> print(text)

Or use the script directly:

./base64.py "Hello World"

SGVsbG8gV29ybGQ=
