I want to embed a small amount of binary data into my python program. what's the best way to do this?

[Shirley Kidman]

froomzer, Binary data?

[froomzer]

Something that can be expressed as ascii

[BigDaddy]

froomzer, why embed, why not use a separate file?

[Shirley Kidman]

froomzer, Probably to create a .bin file and then read from it
I meant to ask what does the binary data consist of?

[froomzer]

It would be best if it was embeded because I only want to distribute only one file

[BigDaddy]

froomzer, you could store it as base64 encoded, or as digits, and convert it inside the file

[froomzer]

Base64 sounds good

[BigDaddy]

There's base64 support in the standard library notw afaik

[froomzer]

Do I just use a unicode string and encode/decode it with this?
