if two lines is cumbersome, you're in for a cumbersome life a programmer. On Apr 22, 2013 7:31 AM, "Ram Rachum" <ram@rachum.com> wrote:
Hi everyone,
Take a look at this question:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/16122435/python-3-how-do-i-use-bytes-to-b...
Is there really no way to use base64 that's as short as:
b'whatever'.encode('base64')
Because doing this:
import codecs codecs.decode(b"whatever", "base64_codec")
Or this:
import base64 encoded = base64.b64encode(b'whatever')
Is cumbersome!
Why can't I do something like b'whatever'.encode('base64')? Or maybe using a different method than `encode`?
Thanks, Ram.
