Import Base64Encoding, encode bytes, and decode back.

from bases import Base64Encoding encoding = Base64Encoding() data = b'hello world' encoded = encoding.export(data) print(encoded) # Output: aGVsbG8gd29ybGQ= decoded = encoding.import_bytes(encoded) print(decoded) # Output: b'hello world'

Debug

Known issues

gotchaThe `import_bytes` method returns bytes, not string. Do not assume it returns a string.

fix

Use `encoding.import_bytes(encoded)` and handle bytes output.

affects: >=0.1.0

deprecatedPython 3.6 support was removed in v0.2.0. If your project requires Python 3.6, pin to v0.1.1.

fix

Upgrade to Python 3.7+ or use `bases==0.1.1`.

affects: >=0.2.0

gotchaCustom alphabets must be strings of unique characters without duplicates. Violation raises ValueError.

fix

Ensure alphabet has no duplicate characters.

affects: >=0.1.0
