There are some bugs in ascii85 end base85 implementations (see in Rietveld for
details). Besides, ascii85 implementation was too slow. I've prepared a patch
that corrects errors and speeds up encoding and decoding.
Microbenchmarks:
./python -m timeit -r 1 -n 1 -s "from base64 import a85encode as encode; data =
open('python', 'rb').read(1000001)" "encode(data)"
./python -m timeit -r 1 -n 1 -s "from base64 import b85encode as encode; data =
open('python', 'rb').read(1000001)" "encode(data)"
./python -m timeit -r 1 -n 1 -s "from base64 import a85encode as encode,
a85decode as decode; data = encode(open('python', 'rb').read(1000001))"
"decode(data)"
./python -m timeit -r 1 -n 1 -s "from base64 import b85encode as encode,
b85decode as decode; data = encode(open('python', 'rb').read(1000001))"
"decode(data)"
