Encode and decode bytes using Base58.

from based58 import base58_encode, base58_decode encoded = base58_encode(b'hello world') print(encoded) # b'STV9KUJUjQJRyv7' decoded = base58_decode(encoded) print(decoded) # b'hello world'

Debug

Known issues

gotchaDo not confuse with the 'base58' library. Both provide 'base58_encode'/'base58_decode' but are entirely different packages. Check your requirements file.

fix

Use 'pip install based58' and import from 'based58'.

affects: all

deprecatedAs of version 0.1.1, the general 'encode'/'decode' functions are not provided; only bytes-to-bytes functions. Do not expect string-in/string-out behavior.

fix

Ensure input is bytes, not str. Use .encode() or .decode() as needed.

affects: >=0.1.0

gotchaThe library expects input to be bytes. Passing a string will raise AttributeError or TypeError depending on Python version.

fix

Convert strings to bytes: base58_encode('text'.encode()).
