.a2b_uu()

The .a2b_uu() function converts a single line of UUEncoded data back to binary and returns the binary data.

Syntax

binascii.a2b_uu(string)

• string: This parameter represents the UUEncoded data intended for decoding back into binary format. Specifically, it should be a Unicode string containing only ASCII characters and conforming to the UUEncode format.

Example

import binascii

# Inserting ASCII-encoded data in UUEncode format
encoded_data = '*0V]D96-A9&5M>0  \n'

# Decoding the ASCII-encoded data
decoded_data = binascii.a2b_uu(encoded_data)

# Printing the decoded message
print(decoded_data)
