Is there an easy way to represent the base64 alphabet in a Python list?

The alphabet (and its indices) can be found here:

Is there a shorter way than alphabet = ['A','B',...] of representing this alphabet?

Solution

  • You can use the string module

    import string
alphabet = string.ascii_uppercase + string.ascii_lowercase + string.digits + '+/'
