The \module{binascii} module contains a number of methods to convert
between binary and various \ASCII-encoded binary
representations. Normally, you will not use these functions directly
-but use wrapper modules like \refmodule{uu}\refstmodindex{uu} or
-\refmodule{binhex}\refstmodindex{binhex} instead, this module solely
-exists because bit-manipulation of large amounts of data is slow in
