#generate Base64 Alphabet in one line
b64list = reduce(lambda v,a:v+[chr(ord(a[0])+i) for i in range(a[1])],[('A',26),('a',26),('0',10)],[])+['+','/','=']

#now convert each 24 bit field into 4 pieces
s ='anuraguniyal.'

##print b64list[bytes[0]>>2]

##print b64list[bytes[2]&63]
#this can be written in short as
#one line to convert three bytes to 4 base64 chars
en = lambda a,b,c,l = b64list:''.join([l[a>>2]]+[l[i or 64] for i in [((a&3)<<4)+(b>>4),((b&15)<<2)+(c>>6),c&63]])

#use en function to convert aribirary legth strings
l = [ord(c) for c in s]+[0,0,0]
ll = []
for i in range(0,len(s),3):
    ll.extend(en(l[i],l[i+1],l[i+2]))

#this can be written in one ilne
encode = lambda s,l=[[]]:''.join([l.pop(0),l.append([ord(c) for c in s]+[0,0,0]),[en(l[0][i],l[0][i+1],l[0][i+2]) for i in range(0,len(s),3)]][2])

#combining en and encode
encode = lambda s,l=[[]]:''.join([l.pop(0),l.append([ord(c) for c in s]+[0,0,0]),[apply(lambda a,b,c,l = b64list:''.join([l[a>>2]]+[l[i or 64] for i in [((a&3)<<4)+(b>>4),((b&15)<<2)+(c>>6),c&63]]),(l[0][i],l[0][i+1],l[0][i+2])) for i in range(0,len(s),3)]][2])

#base64 Alphabet is not integrated in this oneliner as it will evaluate it each time
#that may slow this function
#but just to write one liner base 64 converter
#here it is...10 times slower 
encode = lambda s,l=[[]]:''.join([l.pop(0),l.append([ord(c) for c in s]+[0,0,0]),[apply(lambda a,b,c,l = reduce(lambda v,a:v+[chr(ord(a[0])+i) for i in range(a[1])],[('A',26),('a',26),('0',10)],[])+['+','/','=']:''.join([l[a>>2]]+[l[i or 64] for i in [((a&3)<<4)+(b>>4),((b&15)<<2)+(c>>6),c&63]]),(l[0][i],l[0][i+1],l[0][i+2])) for i in range(0,len(s),3)]][2])
print '-----------------------'
import base64
print encode(s)
print base64.encodestring(s)

U can use it if for some mysterious reason you don't want to use base64 module.

Argh, thanks for making your Python code look like Perl.

LOL. 1 line.

Since this is the top google search for the corresponding perl one-liner - here it is:-

use bytes; while(<DATA>){tr#A-Za-z0-9+/##cd;tr#A-Za-z0-9+/# -_#; $l= pack("c",32+0.75*length($_));print unpack("u",$l.$_);}

that takes incoming base64 and outputs the binary version. It works by converting the base64 into the perl uuencode format first. (it also removes all non-base64-chars in anyone is being pedantic.

You can create some base64 to feed it with like so:-

perl -e 'use MIME::Base64; open(IN,"<file.gz");binmode(in);sysread(in,$x,9999999); print="" encode_base64($x)'<="" p="">

Yeah... another broken anti-XSS web page comment form. Sigh. Replace everything above from the "print" part with this, assuming this web page doesn't break it as well:-

print encode_base64($x)' >tst64
