binascii – Binary/ASCII conversions.

Binary/ASCII conversions.

This module implements a subset of the corresponding CPython module, as described below. For more information, refer to the original CPython documentation: binascii.

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

Functions

a2b_base64(→ bytes)	Decode base64-encoded data, ignoring invalid characters in the input.
b2a_base64(→ bytes)	Encode binary data in base64 format, as in `RFC 3548
hexlify(→ bytes)	Convert the bytes in the data object to a hexadecimal representation.
unhexlify(→ bytes)	Convert hexadecimal data to binary representation. Returns bytes string.

Module Contents

binascii.a2b_base64(data) → bytes

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) → bytes

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.

binascii.hexlify(data, sep: Any | None = None) → bytes

Convert the bytes in the data object to a hexadecimal representation. Returns a bytes object.

If the additional argument sep is supplied it is used as a separator between hexadecimal values.

binascii.unhexlify(data) → bytes

Convert hexadecimal data to binary representation. Returns bytes string. (i.e. inverse of hexlify)
