a dumb pair of python scripts to encode/decode files as base64 when dragged or dropped. so i don't have to transfer binary files between servers, just paste into cat <<EOF

b64dec.py

#!/usr/bin/env python
from base64 import b64decode
from sys import argv

for fn in argv[1:]:
    with open(fn, "rb") as f:
        with open(fn[:-4], "wb") as of:
            of.write(b64decode(f.read()))

b64enc.py

#!/usr/bin/env python
from base64 import b64encode
from sys import argv

for fn in argv[1:]:
    with open(fn, "rb") as f:
        with open(fn + ".b64", "wb") as of:
            of.write(b64encode(f.read()))
