binascii doesn't work with bytearray and memoryview types:

>>> import binascii
>>>
>>> binascii.b2a_base64(bytearray(b"hello"))
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
TypeError: b2a_base64(): 1st arg can't be coerced to String
>>>
>>> binascii.b2a_base64(memoryview(b"hello"))
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
TypeError: b2a_base64(): 1st arg can't be coerced to String
>>>


The above does work correctly in cPython 2.7
