I've used both, but only briefly. I think I used uuencode when using uucp. And Base64 in one of my Python programs. What are their pros and cons, in your opinion?

Base 64 is slightly more space efficient. Other than that it's just more popular and better supported.

  Got it, thanks. Yes, uuencode / uudecode are probably older too. They are from the uucp dialup comms era of networking.
