Function
base64.b64encode

Signature

b64encode(s, altchars=None)

Documentation String

Encode a string using Base64.

s is the string to encode. Optional altchars must be a string of at least length 2 (additional characters are ignored) which specifies an alternative alphabet for the '+ and /' characters. This allows an application to e.g. generate url or filesystem safe Base64 strings.

The encoded string is returned.
