Everything here should be covered by the fix committed for #1753718.  If I

Darn.  I *thought* I remembered there being an existing patch for this when I 
was working on that other issue, but I couldn't find it.

Hopefully the patch proposed for Issue 1753718 will address this issue. Many of 
my comments there would also apply to the patch here.

Milan Oberkirch added the comment:

changed 'bytes' and 'byte string' to `bytes-like object` and reviewed usage of 
'byte' and 'string' (the letter made sense to me at some points, e.g. something 
like  ... altchar is a string with two or less letters ...).

[R. David Murray]

New submission from R. David Murray:

The base64 documentation (http://docs.python.org/3/library/base64.html) does 
not use the new python3 byte/string terminology consistently (sometimes not 
even within the same paragraph).
