The binascii module contains two function that deals with base64. 

Jython 2.0 on java1.3.0 (JIT: null)
Type "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import binascii
>>> dir(binascii)
['Error', 'Incomplete', '__doc__', 'a2b_base64', 'a2b_hex',
'a2b_hex$doc', 'a2b_
hqx', 'a2b_uu', 'b2a_base64', 'b2a_hex', 'b2a_hqx', 'b2a_uu', 'crc32',
'crc_hqx'
, 'hexlify', 'rlecode_hqx', 'rledecode_hqx', 'unhexlify']
>>> print binascii.b2a_base64("hello world")
aGVsbG8gd29ybGQ=

>>> print binascii.a2b_base64(binascii.b2a_base64("hello world"))
hello world
>>>
