The \module{binascii} module contains a number of methods to convert
between binary and various \ASCII-encoded binary
representations. Normally, you will not use these functions directly
but use wrapper modules like \refmodule{uu}\refstmodindex{uu} or
\refmodule{binhex}\refstmodindex{binhex} instead, this module solely
exists because bit-manipulation of large amounts of data is slow in
Python.
but use wrapper modules like \refmodule{uu}\refstmodindex{uu},

\refmodule{binhex}\refstmodindex{binhex} instead. The \module{binascii} module
contains low-level functions written in C for greater speed
that are used by the higher-level modules.
The \module{binascii} module defines the following functions:
