base64 encoding/decoding breaks compatiblity with python2.3

[Nils Maier <MaierMan@…>]

r5390/#4087 breaks compatibility with python2.3, as there doesn't seem to be a unicode.decode method.

Patch attached (don't know if this is the best solution though, but works for me at least).
Decoding content via str() should be safe (base64 ;)).

Thanks for the patch.

This code really starts to become scary ;-) We should really think about a better way to store binary content.
