""" Python 'uu_codec' Codec - UU content transfer encoding

    Unlike most of the other codecs which target Unicode, this codec
    will return Python string objects for both encode and decode.

    Written by Marc-Andre Lemburg (mal@lemburg.com). Some details were
    adapted from uu.py which was written by Lance Ellinghouse and
    modified by Jack Jansen and Fredrik Lundh.
