binascii – binary/ASCII conversions

This module implements conversions between binary data and various encodings of it in ASCII form (in both directions).

Coming soon

This is a very limited implementation of binascii compared to the standard CPython implementation.

Functions

binascii.a2b_base64(data)

Decode base64-encoded data, ignoring invalid characters in the input. Conforms to RFC 2045 s.6.8. Returns a bytes object.

binascii.b2a_base64(data, *, newline=True)

Encode binary data in base64 format, as in RFC 3548. Returns the encoded data followed by a newline character if newline is true, as a bytes object.
