With Python 3, you must carefully distinquish `bytes` (a
sequence of numbers between 0 and 255) and `str` (a sequence of
(unicode) characters).
`base64` operates on `bytes`; `"..."` constructs an `str`;
Python 3 has made `bytes` and `str` (mostly) incompatible.
You can use `.decode([charset, error])` to convert `bytes` to `str`
and `.encode([charset, error])` to convert `str` to `bytes`.
Because `base64.encode` gives you a sequence of values between 0 and 127,
you can omit the optional parameters for `.decode`.
