[New-bugs-announce] [issue15636] base64.decodebytes is only available in Python3.1+

[Andrew Scheller]

New submission from Andrew Scheller:

According to the documentation ( http://docs.python.org/py3k/library/base64.html#base64.decodebytes ) both the decodebytes and the deprecated decodestring methods are available in the base64 module in Python3.x
However in Python3.0 (I'm testing with version 3.0.1 built from source) the base64 module only has the decodestring method, it doesn't have decodebytes. IMHO the documentation should be updated to reflect this.

It looks like decodebytes was added to Python3.1 by http://bugs.python.org/issue3613
