I know this question has been asked much times, but please look once in my problem.



I am sending base64 image data from angular to python flask but when I am processing that base64 data on flask server(python3) then it is giving me the error




TypeError: expected bytes-like object, not str




my Javascript code is:



window['__CANVAS'].toDataURL("image/png");



Output of the above line is:



"data:image/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUg....."



I am receiving same data on flask server as string.



Code on python server that is using above base 64 data is:



def convert_to_image(base64_code):
image_64_decode = base64.decodebytes(base64_code)
image_result = open('baseimage.jpg', 'wb')
image_result.write(image_64_decode)
img_rgb = cv2.imread('baseimage.jpg')
return img_rgb


then it is giving the following error trace:



File "/home/shubham/py-projects/DX/Web/app/base64toimage.py", line 10, in convert_to_image    
image_64_decode = base64.decodebytes(base64_code)
File "/usr/lib/python3.5/base64.py", line 552, in decodebytes
_input_type_check(s)
File "/usr/lib/python3.5/base64.py", line 521, in _input_type_check
raise TypeError(msg) from err
TypeError: expected bytes-like object, not str


above python function working fine if I am converting the image using this function



import base64

with open("t.png", "rb") as imageFile:
str = base64.b64encode(imageFile.read())
print str


please help me to solve this question? I am new to python.

    b64encode returns bytes, that's why decodebytes works, because it is expecting bytes, not a string (as the error message clearly states). See: docs.python.org/3/library/base64.html To solve your problem, convert base64_code to bytes or pass a byte-like-object to the function instead of a string. Side note: you have successfully overriden the built-in str with str = base64.b64encode(... - don't do that!
