pyutils module

[Skaperen]

if version_info[:3] >= (3,4,0):
    from base64         import a85decode, a85encode

...but then you never use the imported functions?  And they're also undefined, if you're using an older version of python?

is importing a function and not using it in the module considered bad?

i used to have a separate module just to import frequently used functions.  i merged that module because there were a lot of imported functions that were the same.  i wanted to have just one import in my other code so i merged them. then i made the base64 stuff more consistent by filling in the gaps for encode/decode.  i have yet to figure out the difference between a85... and b85...  i decided to include both, but maybe i don't need to.  if the a85 functions would be less often used in other code or a85 is an odd encoding then i would be inclined to remove them.  but i would not remove the version test. is that an issue?

I made a new help doc...i know this is going to be asked numerous times in the future.

:s

the difference between the code inserts was a typo ("b64" where it should have been "b85" on line45).  if i had been able to edit the inserted code, i would be fixing a typo. but code could be considered different; someone may have already downloaded the bad one.

a discussion around code (or documentation) might be good to have a wikipedia style history flow so everyone can see all the changes. but i have seen no forum with this feature. maybe a parallel wiki.python-forum.io would have uses.

the new way to display code is nice.
