Hmm... are you sure base64 is good enough? I was using
base64's encoding, but then I was still running into
problems. I don't remember the exact situation,
but base64 was not good enough.

At the end, I had to switch to urllib, by using
urllib.quote_plus() and urllib.unquote_plus().
The resulting string was bulkier, I didn't like it
too much... but at least it did not fail like
base64.
