Answer 1

exPyCrypto looks good.

This previous SO question addresses Radix64 format specifically for public keys.

To convert the actual base/radix64 encoded characters, see this question:

import base64
decoded_bytes = base64.b64decode(ascii_chars)

Answer 2

You can decode the key by using the base64 module and then encrypt the message.
