Convert byte[] to base64 and ASCII in Python
This honestly should be all that you need: https://docs.python.org/3.1/library/base64.html
In this example you can see where they convert bytes to base64 and decode it back to bytes again:
>>> import base64
>>> encoded = base64.b64encode(b'data to be encoded')
>>> encoded
b'ZGF0YSB0byBiZSBlbmNvZGVk'
>>> data = base64.b64decode(encoded)
>>> data
b'data to be encoded'
You may need to first take your array and turn it into a string with join, like this:
>>> my_joined_string_of_bytes = "".join(["my", "cool", "strings", "of", "bytes"])
Let me know if you need anything else. Thanks!
The simplest approach would be: Array to json to base64:
import json
import base64
data = [0, 1, 0, 0, 83, 116, -10]
dataStr = json.dumps(data)
base64EncodedStr = base64.b64encode(dataStr.encode('utf-8'))
print(base64EncodedStr)
print('decoded', base64.b64decode(base64EncodedStr))
Prints out:
>>> WzAsIDEsIDAsIDAsIDgzLCAxMTYsIC0xMF0=
>>> ('decoded', '[0, 1, 0, 0, 83, 116, -10]') # json.loads here !
... another option could be using bitarray module.
