A Base65536 implementation written in Python 3 based on this javascript version.

import base65536 buf = new bytearray(b"hello world"); // 11 bytes string = base65536.encode(buf); print(string); // 6 code points, "驨ꍬ啯𒁷ꍲᕤ" buf2 = base65536.decode(string); print(buf.equals(buf2)); // true 

Encodes a bytes-like object and returns a Base65536 String, suitable for passing safely through almost any "Unicode-clean" text-handling API. This string contains no special characters and is immune to Unicode normalization. The string encodes two bytes per code point.

Decodes a Base65536 String and returns a bytes-like object containing the original binary data.

This function is currently very strict, with no tolerance for whitespace or other unexpected characters. An Error is thrown if the supplied string is not a valid Base65536 text, or if there is a "final byte" code point in the middle of the string.

uuid = "8eb44f6c-2505-4446-aa57-22d6897c9922"; // 32 hex digits buf = bytearray(uuid.replace('-', '')); // <Buffer 8e b4 ... 22> print(base65546.encode(buf)); // "𣪎ꍏ㤥筄貪𥰢𠊉垙", 8 chars
