C-API Capsule & Base64 Streams

[Vizonex]

I was wondering if I could contribute to this project by providing some tools for binding this library to cython as well as a streaming class implementation in CPython since there is still some features left that I would like to have implemented with this project.

hi @Vizonex,
Cython is a no go for this project.
A streaming interface is however something that might be worth implementing. I thought about that but never really looked into it.
A few things that should be done before diving into that if you're still interested in contributing this feature:

• is there an equivalent streaming interface in CPython ? if the answer is yes, we probably want to be compatible with that interface.
• does a C implementation really boost the performances compared to an implementation in pure Python that calls existing "block" functions ?

@mayeut Cool ^^ I'll be sure to implement that in soon.
