Encode binary data into ASCII and vice versa

base8x

SYNOPSIS

base8x -- Base-(85 ~ 95) binary/ASCII conversion.

Encodes binary data 4 bytes a time into a string of maximal length 5, using at least 85 of the 95 ASCII printable characters. The alphabet can be specified by the user. The inverse operation (decoding) can also be performed.

USAGE

See docstring for the Base8xCodec class.

EXAMPLE

The example script example_wpskg.py generates random secret keys for WordPress's wp-config.php file, just like WP's online key generation service at https://api.wordpress.org/secret-key/1.1/salt/

Binary data from the random source /dev/urandom is converted into strings suitable for use as PHP literal. The output should look like the following:

define('AUTH_KEY',         'TRb]|u{xmvW7,02tiDA@j|{iSMMqxbu~k #R|H-UmZJXeJSU:9');
define('SECURE_AUTH_KEY',  '5KYxKE`{|}QWdV6824j[eGf7sBh(S+72;Pdp@-kK1Dy:^PlsbT');
define('LOGGED_IN_KEY',    'a@L(:kQ<c(vGfQ4uN4dSF:K];5Zv.SFR+JKUj1T@J?qfJr@hz?');
define('NONCE_KEY',        'i@WA`bw=m[z#+N9FDW}1gVmv/Wb~3{S^T,2ctv7Tya]QPw_w>b');
define('AUTH_SALT',        'N>#Q&nYIBkn/?to0#N#/O|N:P0h;ycAWc`(1~twk4{P7bc@1,Z');
define('SECURE_AUTH_SALT', 'Nm0r2DC~vbhoBzx7uT{vwAr9lNd02}Rc~xVf968gC^S`#4acPF');
define('LOGGED_IN_SALT',   'Pp9sSh#%R)pTk<HS)qR@2qsy+dW]@fl!s@]9kq!byTrQQoij6y');
define('NONCE_SALT',       'qAIqsm4-&SU4-BP8CP=UI6YXeTn,c7Bx4NRl`Msib|4 qt:A]D');

NOTE: Please don't copy the above example output into your wp-config.php file.
