python - Remove the new line "\n" from base64 encoded strings in Python3? -

i'm trying make https connection in python3 , when try encode username , password base64 encodebytes method returns encoded value new line character @ end "\n" , because of i'm getting error when try connect.

is there way tell base64 library not append new line character when encoding or best way remove new line character? tried using replace method following error:

traceback (most recent call last):   file "data_consumer.py", line 33, in <module>     auth_base64 = auth_base64.replace('\n', '') typeerror: expected bytes, bytearray or buffer compatible object 

my code:

auth = b'username@domain.com:password' auth_base64 = base64.encodebytes(auth) auth_base64 = auth_base64.replace('\n', '') 

any ideas? thanks

instead of encodestring consider using b64encode. later not add \n characters. e.g.

in [11]: auth = b'username@domain.com:password'  in [12]: base64.encodestring(auth) out[12]: b'dxnlcm5hbwvazg9tywlulmnvbtpwyxnzv09sra==\n'  in [13]: base64.b64encode(auth) out[13]: b'dxnlcm5hbwvazg9tywlulmnvbtpwyxnzv09sra==' 

it produces identical encoded string except \n
