The bytes function creates a bytes object from the string "your_string" using UTF-8 encoding. In Python, bytes represents a sequence of bits and UTF-8 specifies the character encoding to …

362 base64 encoding takes 8-bit binary byte data and encodes it uses only the characters A-Z, a-z, 0-9, +, / * so it can be transmitted over channels that do not preserve all 8-bits of data, such …

I have the following piece of Base64 encoded data, and I want to use the Python Base64 module to extract information from it. It seems that module does not work. How can I make it work?

Aug 9, 2013 · You can see that base64.b64encode requires a bytes-like object (bytes, bytearray, etc.) as its input and also returns such objects as its output, so we have to use encode() for …

In python there is base64.b64encode but that only base64 encodes and its is different from base64 url encoding. Here is the right set to of steps to convert form base64encoded to …

Feb 1, 2015 · I want to encode an image into a string using the base64 module. I've ran into a problem though. How do I specify the image I want to be encoded? I tried using the directory …

Jul 18, 2014 · In Python 3.x you need to convert your str object to a bytes object for base64 to be able to encode them. You can do that using the str.encode method:

LookupError: 'base64' is not a text encoding; use codecs.encode() to handle arbitrary codecs This line seemed to work fine in python 2 but since switching to 3 I get the error

Nov 14, 2015 · Python 3 uses utf-8 encoding for strings by default. It is not a coincidence that the writers of the standard library made the default encoding of the encode/decode methods also …

base64 has been intentionally classified as a binary transform.... It was a design decision in Python 3 to force the separation of bytes and text and prohibit implicit transformations.
