These days, the base64 module has 'b64decode', which can tolerate a str or a bytes as input. Switched to using that, and also, imported it under a nice short name 'b64'. In the process, removed the obsolete equivocation between base64.decodebytes and base64.decodestring. That was there to cope with Python 2 - but the assert statement right next to it has been enforcing P3 since commit 2ec2b796ed24cb5 two years ago!
This is the README for PuTTY, a free Windows and Unix Telnet and SSH
client.
PuTTY is built using CMake <https://cmake.org/>. To compile in the
simplest way (on any of Linux, Windows or Mac), run these commands in
the source directory:
cmake .
cmake --build .
Documentation (in various formats including Windows Help and Unix
`man' pages) is built from the Halibut (`.but') files in the `doc'
subdirectory using `doc/Makefile'. If you aren't using one of our
source snapshots, you'll need to do this yourself. Halibut can be
found at <https://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/halibut/>.
The PuTTY home web site is

If you want to send bug reports or feature requests, please read the
Feedback section of the web site before doing so. Sending one-line
reports saying `it doesn't work' will waste your time as much as
ours.
