You can use pip to install baseconv module:

$ pip install python-baseconv

Example usage:

>>> from baseconv import base2, base16, base36, base56, base58, base62, base64
>>> base2.encode(1234)
'10011010010'
>>> base2.decode('10011010010')
'1234'
>>> base64.encode(100000000000000000000000000000000000L)
'4q9XSiTDWYk7Z-W00000'
>>> base64.decode('4q9XSiTDWYk7Z-W00000')
'100000000000000000000000000000000000'

>>> from baseconv import BaseConverter
>>> myconv = BaseConverter('MyOwnAlphabet0123456')
>>> repr(myconv)
"BaseConverter('MyOwnAlphabet0123456', sign='-')"
>>> myconv.encode('1234')
'wy1'
>>> myconv.decode('wy1')
'1234'
>>> myconv.encode(-1234)
'-wy1'
>>> myconv.decode('-wy1')
'-1234'
>>> altsign = BaseConverter('abcd-', sign='$')
>>> repr(altsign)
"BaseConverter('abcd-', sign='$')"
>>> altsign.encode(-1000000)
'$cc-aaaaaa'
>>> altsign.decode('$cc-aaaaaa')
