Binascii Module

The binascii module contains a number of methods to convert between binary and various ASCII-encoded binary representations. It is a valuable resource when dealing with binary data in various contexts, such as network protocols and file handling. Normally, a developer will not use these functions directly but use wrapper modules like uu or base64 instead. The binascii module contains low-level functions written in C for greater speed that are used by the higher-level modules. The Python binascii module is a valuable tool when working with binary data and encoding it into different text formats or decoding text representations back into binary data.

The following functions are provided by the binascii module:
