base64.a85decode()

base64.a85decode(b, *, foldspaces=False, adobe=False, ignorechars=b' \t\n\r\v')

Decode the Ascii85 encoded bytes-like object or ASCII string b and return the decoded bytes.

foldspaces is a flag that specifies whether the ‘y’ short sequence should be accepted as shorthand for 4 consecutive spaces (ASCII 0x20). This feature is not supported by the “standard” Ascii85 encoding.

adobe controls whether the input sequence is in Adobe Ascii85 format (i.e. is framed with <~ and ~>).

ignorechars should be a bytes-like object or ASCII string containing characters to ignore from the input. This should only contain whitespace characters, and by default contains all whitespace characters in ASCII.
