Remove the new line "\n" from base64 encoded strings in Python3?
Instead of encodestring consider using b64encode. Later does not add \n characters. e.g.
In [11]: auth = b'username@domain.com:passWORD'In [12]: base64.encodestring(auth)Out[12]: b'dXNlcm5hbWVAZG9tYWluLmNvbTpwYXNzV09SRA==\n'In [13]: base64.b64encode(auth)Out[13]: b'dXNlcm5hbWVAZG9tYWluLmNvbTpwYXNzV09SRA=='It produces identical encoded string except the \n
Following code would work
auth_base64 = auth_base64.decode('utf-8').replace('\n', '')
For Python 3 use:
binascii.b2a_base64(cipher_text, newline=False)For Python 2 use:
binascii.b2a_base64(cipher_text)[:-1]
