I have to decode a string. This one comes from Flash AS3 and I want to decode it in Python. I don’t have any problems with PHP, but I cannot decode the following string with Python 2.6 ‘base64.b64decode’.

f3hvQgQaBFp9IC4NQhYZQiAhNhxBAkwIJC0pDR8fBl12ZjkWXwMEWn57bU0dGgBfcWdsTwAbGB4xLmVLAh0FXXd5a0gGHQRWdy5iQANNVAl/KmNLAhUBXyV8PkFQHwNefntjGgpPU18nK21OURtSC35wPE4FHFUJdi4/TlMUVFwlez9JVxtVDH0TB0IGHAc%Pr

Python returns “TypeError: Incorrect Padding”. It seems to have superfious characters at the end of the string (from the ‘%’). But why Python base64 library do not manage this?

Thank you for your answer.

    It seems to me you are not feeding a valid string to the function – it tells you so. You can’t expect a function to “guess” what you wanted, and base its response on that. You have to use a valid parameter, or the function doesn’t work.
