python parse base64 from string code example

Example 1: python convert image to base64

import base64

file = 'deer.jpg'
image = open(file, 'rb')
image_read = image.read()
image_64_encode = base64.encodebytes(image_read) #encodestring also works aswell as decodestring

print('This is the image in base64: ' + str(image_64_encode))

image_64_decode = base64.decodebytes(image_64_encode) 
image_result = open('deer_decode.jpg', 'wb') # create a writable image and write the decoding result
image_result.write(image_64_decode)

Example 2: base64 encode python

import base64

message = "Python is fun"
message_bytes = message.encode('ascii')
base64_bytes = base64.b64encode(message_bytes)
base64_message = base64_bytes.decode('ascii')

print(base64_message)
