base64.encodestring was removed in Python 3.9 and expected a str in Python 3 (raising TypeError: expected bytes-like object, not str). Use base64.b64encode with explicit UTF-8 encode/decode, which works on all Python 3 versions. Fixes geopython#130

Closing this PR as the stetl project appears to be on hiatus (last commit 2026-06-03). The base64 fix is still valid for Python 3.9+ compatibility. Happy to reopen when the project becomes active again. |
