Usage

Basic Conversion

from philiprehberger_base_convert import to_base, from_base

# Convert to base 16 (hex)
to_base(255, 16)      # "ff"
from_base("ff", 16)   # 255

# Convert to base 62
to_base(999999, 62)   # "4c91"
from_base("4c91", 62) # 999999

Pre-built Codecs

from philiprehberger_base_convert import base16, base36, base58, base62

base62.encode(123456789)       # "8M0kX"
base62.decode("8M0kX")         # 123456789

base58.encode(123456789)       # Bitcoin-style base58
base36.encode(123456789)       # "21i3v9"
base16.encode(255)             # "ff"

Custom Alphabet

from philiprehberger_base_convert import to_base, from_base, BaseCodec

# Use a custom alphabet for base 3
to_base(42, 3, alphabet="XYZ")   # "YXZX"
from_base("YXZX", 3, alphabet="XYZ")  # 42

# Reusable codec with custom alphabet
codec = BaseCodec(4, alphabet="ACGT")
codec.encode(42)   # "GCAC"
codec.decode("GCAC")  # 42
