Python – Convert Binary to ASCII
The ASCII to binary and binary to ascii conversion is carried out by the in-built binascii module. It has a very straight forward usage with functions which take the input data and do the conversion. The below program shows the use of binascii module and its functions named b2a_uu and a2b_uu. The uu stands for “UNIX-to-UNIX encoding” which takes care of the data conversion from strings to binary and ascii values as required by the program.
import binascii text = "Simply Easy Learning" # Converting binary to ascii data_b2a = binascii.b2a_uu(text) print "**Binary to Ascii** \n" print data_b2a # Converting back from ascii to binary data_a2b = binascii.a2b_uu(data_b2a) print "**Ascii to Binary** \n" print data_a2b
When we run the above program we get the following output −
> **Binary to Ascii** 44VEM<&QY($5A
