Summary: base64 module ignores non-alphabet characters

Initial Comment:
See:
http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-dev/2006-April/063504.html

base64.b64decode function ignores non-alphabet
characters, which contradicts its documentation: see
http://docs.python.org/lib/module-base64.html

Also, the exception must be ValueError instead of
TypeError.
