[Ironpython-users] b64encode(bz2.compress()) throws exception.

[Hernán Foffani]

Hi,
This works on CPython but on IronPython throws an exception in base64.b64encode.

from __future__ import print_function

import cPickle
import bz2
import base64

def serializa(o):
   s1 = cPickle.dumps(o)
   s2 = bz2.compress(s1)
   s = base64.b64encode(s2)
   return s

def deserializa(s):
   o = cPickle.loads(bz2.decompress(base64.b64decode(s)))
   return o

def procesa():
   l1 = [23,4,303,None,'.',32023.03,0]
   l2 = deserializa(serializa(l1))
   print(l1, l2)

procesa()
