How to encode and decode a string in python?

Question

x='Hello man'
y=x.encode('base64','strict')
print(y)

error=

'base64' is not a text encoding; use codecs.encode() to handle arbitrary codecs.

In Python3, if you want base64

import base64, use b64encode().

(Note, b64encode expects bytestrings)

bytestrings:
bytes("string", "ascii")
"string".encode()
b"string"

bytestring -> normal:
b"string".decode()
