I'm a newbie in Python and now I want to encode a text string to base64. I have some line code below:
phone = "0234566778"
name ="Jonh"
print('%s is trying encode his phone in base64 = %s\n'%(name,phone.encode('base64','strict')))
When running this code I got an error:
LookupError: 'base64' is not a text encoding; use codecs.encode() to handle arbitrary codecs
How can I resolve it?

You can try a simple way below:
import base64 base64.b64encode('Your string text here'.encode('ascii'))And it works for me.

You need to import
base64package. It helps convert encode text string to base 64. See example:import base64 base64.b64encode(bytes('your tex string here', 'utf-8'))I hope it works for you.
