This module implements a subset of the corresponding CPython module,
as described below. For more information, refer to the original

This module implements conversions between binary data and various encodings of it in ASCII form (in both directions).

Convert the bytes in the data object to a hexadecimal representation. Returns a bytes object.
If the additional argument sep is supplied it is used as a separator between hexadecimal values.
- binascii.unhexlify(data)¶
Convert hexadecimal data to binary representation. Returns bytes string. (i.e. inverse of hexlify)
- binascii.a2b_base64(data)¶
Decode base64-encoded data, ignoring invalid characters in the input. Conforms to RFC 2045 s.6.8. Returns a bytes object.
