PYTHON: base64 multiple lines

Post date: Mar 18, 2011 2:07:27 PM

Here's how to use it.

>>> import base64>>> base64.encodestring('hello world')'aGVsbG8gd29ybGQ=\n'>>> base64.decodestring(_)'hello world'>>>

If the text is long, the base64 module will split the encoded data into multiple lines. And thus we need to replace '\n' in results.
