jython base64.urlsafe_b64xxx

[py]

anyone know how to do perform the equivalent base64.urlsafe_ b64encode
and base64.urlsafe_ b64decode functions that Python has but in jython?
Jython comes with a base64 module but it does not have the urlsafe
functions. Tried copying the pythhon base64.py to replace the Jython
one, and although it did perform the encode/decode it didnt seem to be
correctly decoded.


thanks

You're probably better off using a java library for the task. There are
plenty to choose from, but most embedded as utility classes in bigger
packages. Here's a public domain one for example

http://dev.i2p.net/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/i2p/core/java/src/net/i2p/data/Base64.java?f=H

With javadoc at

http://dev.i2p.net/javadoc/net/i2p/data/Base64.html

Seems to do what you want.

HTH,
