Base16, Base32, Base64 (RFC 3548), Base85 and Ascii85 data encodings
a85decode(b, *, foldspaces=False, adobe=False, ignorechars=b' \t\n\r\x0b')
Decode the Ascii85 encoded bytes-like object or ASCII string b.
foldspaces is a flag that specifies whether the 'y' short sequence should be
accepted as shorthand for 4 consecutive spaces (ASCII 0x20). This feature is
not supported by the "standard" Adobe encoding.
adobe controls whether the input sequence is in Adobe Ascii85 format (i.e.
is framed with <~ and ~>).
ignorechars should be a byte string containing characters to ignore from the
input. This should only contain whitespace characters, and by default
contains all whitespace characters in ASCII.
The result is returned as a bytes object.
a85encode(b, *, foldspaces=False, wrapcol=0, pad=False, adobe=False)
Encode bytes-like object b using Ascii85 and return a bytes object.
foldspaces is an optional flag that uses the special short sequence 'y'
instead of 4 consecutive spaces (ASCII 0x20) as supported by 'btoa'. This
feature is not supported by the "standard" Adobe encoding.
wrapcol controls whether the output should have newline (b'\n') characters
added to it. If this is non-zero, each output line will be at most this
many characters long.
pad controls whether the input is padded to a multiple of 4 before
encoding. Note that the btoa implementation always pads.
adobe controls whether the encoded byte sequence is framed with <~ and ~>,
which is used by the Adobe implementation.
b16decode(s, casefold=False)
Decode the Base16 encoded bytes-like object or ASCII string s.
Optional casefold is a flag specifying whether a lowercase alphabet is
acceptable as input. For security purposes, the default is False.
The result is returned as a bytes object. A binascii.Error is raised if
s is incorrectly padded or if there are non-alphabet characters present
in the input.
b16encode(s)
Encode the bytes-like object s using Base16 and return a bytes object.
b32decode(s, casefold=False, map01=None) Decode the base32 encoded bytes-like object or ASCII string s. Optional casefold is a flag specifying whether a lowercase alphabet is acceptable as input. For security purposes, the default is False. RFC 3548 allows for optional mapping of the digit 0 (zero) to the letter O (oh), and for optional mapping of the digit 1 (one) to either the letter I (eye) or letter L (el). The optional argument map01 when not None, specifies which letter the digit 1 should be mapped to (when map01 is not None, the digit 0 is always mapped to the letter O). For security purposes the default is None, so that 0 and 1 are not allowed in the input. The result is returned as a bytes object. A binascii.Error is raised if the input is incorrectly padded or if there are non-alphabet characters present in the input.
b32encode(s) Encode the bytes-like objects using base32 and return a bytes object.
b32hexdecode(s, casefold=False) Decode the base32hex encoded bytes-like object or ASCII string s. Optional casefold is a flag specifying whether a lowercase alphabet is acceptable as input. For security purposes, the default is False. The result is returned as a bytes object. A binascii.Error is raised if the input is incorrectly padded or if there are non-alphabet characters present in the input.
b32hexencode(s) Encode the bytes-like objects using base32hex and return a bytes object.
b64decode(s, altchars=None, validate=False)
Decode the Base64 encoded bytes-like object or ASCII string s.
Optional altchars must be a bytes-like object or ASCII string of length 2
which specifies the alternative alphabet used instead of the '+' and '/'
characters.
The result is returned as a bytes object. A binascii.Error is raised if
s is incorrectly padded.
If validate is False (the default), characters that are neither in the
normal base-64 alphabet nor the alternative alphabet are discarded prior
to the padding check. If validate is True, these non-alphabet characters
in the input result in a binascii.Error.
b64encode(s, altchars=None)
Encode the bytes-like object s using Base64 and return a bytes object.
Optional altchars should be a byte string of length 2 which specifies an
alternative alphabet for the '+' and '/' characters. This allows an
application to e.g. generate url or filesystem safe Base64 strings.
b85decode(b)
Decode the base85-encoded bytes-like object or ASCII string b
The result is returned as a bytes object.
b85encode(b, pad=False)
Encode bytes-like object b in base85 format and return a bytes object.
If pad is true, the input is padded with b'\0' so its length is a multiple of
4 bytes before encoding.
decode(input, output) Decode a file; input and output are binary files.
decodebytes(s) Decode a bytestring of base-64 data into a bytes object.
encode(input, output) Encode a file; input and output are binary files.
encodebytes(s)
Encode a bytestring into a bytes object containing multiple lines
of base-64 data.
main() Small main program
standard_b64decode(s)
Decode bytes encoded with the standard Base64 alphabet.
Argument s is a bytes-like object or ASCII string to decode. The result
is returned as a bytes object. A binascii.Error is raised if the input
is incorrectly padded. Characters that are not in the standard alphabet
are discarded prior to the padding check.
standard_b64encode(s)
Encode bytes-like object s using the standard Base64 alphabet.
The result is returned as a bytes object.
test()
urlsafe_b64decode(s)
Decode bytes using the URL- and filesystem-safe Base64 alphabet.
Argument s is a bytes-like object or ASCII string to decode. The result
is returned as a bytes object. A binascii.Error is raised if the input
is incorrectly padded. Characters that are not in the URL-safe base-64
alphabet, and are not a plus '+' or slash '/', are discarded prior to the
padding check.
The alphabet uses '-' instead of '+' and '_' instead of '/'.
urlsafe_b64encode(s)
Encode bytes using the URL- and filesystem-safe Base64 alphabet.
Argument s is a bytes-like object to encode. The result is returned as a
bytes object. The alphabet uses '-' instead of '+' and '_' instead of
'/'.
