Because of the Bug here: http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1597570&group_id=5470&atid=105470 i can't report it into the new python.org trac :(

-----------------------------------------------------

The base64 doc does not mention, which function is new in Python 2.4.x

I have try to use b64encode with Python 2.3 :)

Please compare:

http://www.python.org/doc/2.3.5/lib/module-base64.html

with:

http://www.python.org/doc/2.4.2/lib/module-base64.html
and
http://docs.python.org/lib/module-base64.html

This should have been classified as a bug, and reported here in any case, since the documentation is part of the sources, not the website.

That aside, it's now fixed in rev. 52762, 52763 (2.5).
