11.20.4 Binary Objects

This class may initialized from string data (which may include NULs). The primary acess to the content of a Binary object is provided by an attribute:

data

The binary data encapsulated by the Binary instance. The data is provided as an 8-bit string.

Binary objects have the following methods, supported mainly for internal use by the marshalling/unmarshalling code:

decode(string)

Accept a base64 string and decode it as the instance's new data.

encode(out)

Write the XML-RPC base 64 encoding of this binary item to the out stream object.

It also supports certain of Python's built-in operators through a _cmp__() method.
