does anyone know a encoding/decoding function similar to base64_encode/decode, but that only outputs numbers and or letters, as base64 sometimes outputs = which is messing up my code. Thanks

    Base64 is not encryption. I’d suggest you learn aboutwhat encryption means. But anyway, it sounds like what you want is Base32 encoding. In Python, you can get it just by doing

    base64.b32encode(data)

    Edit: base32 encoding also uses = to pad by default, but if it is causing a problem, you can simply omit the padding. 

    base64.b32encode(data).rstrip('=')
