base64 and PyGreSQL

[Agent Drek]

Why does the base64 module append a '\012'?

I'm using base64 to send data into a PostgreSQL database so that
arbitrary data including ''s and "'s can be entered by the user's ...
is this the correct way to do this?

right now :
string.strip(base64.encodestring(eggs))

I'm using PyGreSQL.

thanks,
