when convert to base 64, TypeError: 'str' does not support the buffer interface
base64, python
Solution
encodedMsg = base64.b64encode(self.msg.encode('ascii'))
reference: Base64 encoding in Python 3
Problem
``` im = Image.open(filePath) # load image self.msg = str(bytearray(list(im.getdata()))) # convert image data to string encodedMsg = base64.b64encode(self.msg) ``` when I was trying to encode the data read from an image to base64, it returns an error: ``` File "Steganography.py", line 42, in msgToXml encodedMsg = base64.b64encode(self.msg) File "/opt/python3/current/lib/python3.4/base64.py", line 62, in b64encode encoded = binascii.b2a_base64(s)[:-1] TypeError: 'str' does not support the buffer interface ``` It works when I'm home using Ubuntu(python 2.7). But it shows error when I use school machine(python3.4). How can I solve this?
