python 3 base64 encode dict
"""
Given a dictionary, transform it to a string. Then byte encode that string. Then base64 encode it and since this will go
on a url, use the urlsafe version. Then decode the byte string so that it can be else where.
"""
data = base64.urlsafe_b64encode(json.dumps({'a': 123}).encode()).decode()
# And the decode is just as simple...
data = json.loads(base64.urlsafe_b64decode(query_param.encode()).decode())
# Byte encode the string, base64 decode that, then byte decode, finally transform it to a dictionary

Install FreeTDS, unixODBC and pyodbc on OS X

First, install the following libraries:

$ brew install unixodbc
$ brew install freetds --with-unixodbc

FreeTDS should already work now, without configuration:

$ tsql -S [IP or hostname] -U [username] -P [password]
locale is "en_US.UTF-8"

locale charset is "UTF-8"
