You don't need to import 'base64'. You can just do:
string.encode('base64')

I just found out about that recently, though. So there is probably lots of other code that does 'import base64'.

It is a shame that we have to re-implement most of urllib2 to get connection sharing to work. Are we able to send any of this stuff upstream to get it integrated into python 2.6?
