<h1>18.13. <tt class="xref docutils literal"><span class="pre">binhex</span></tt> — Encode and decode binhex4 files<a class="headerlink" href="#module-binhex" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h1>
<p>This module encodes and decodes files in binhex4 format, a format allowing
representation of Macintosh files in ASCII. On the Macintosh, both forks of a
file and the finder information are encoded (or decoded), on other platforms
only the data fork is handled.</p>
<div class="admonition note">
<p class="first admonition-title">Note</p>
<p class="last">In Python 3.x, special Macintosh support has been removed.</p>
</div>
<p>The <tt class="xref docutils literal"><span class="pre">binhex</span></tt> module defines the following functions:</p>
<dl class="function">
<dt id="binhex.binhex">
<tt class="descclassname">binhex.</tt><tt class="descname">binhex</tt><big>(</big><em>input</em>, <em>output</em><big>)</big><a class="headerlink" href="#binhex.binhex" title="Permalink to this definition">¶</a></dt>
<dd>Convert a binary file with filename <em>input</em> to binhex file <em>output</em>. The
<em>output</em> parameter can either be a filename or a file-like object (any object
supporting a <tt class="xref docutils literal"><span class="pre">write()</span></tt> and <tt class="xref docutils literal"><span class="pre">close()</span></tt> method).</dd></dl>
<dl class="function">
<dt id="binhex.hexbin">
<tt class="descclassname">binhex.</tt><tt class="descname">hexbin</tt><big>(</big><em>input</em><span class="optional">[</span>, <em>output</em><span class="optional">]</span><big>)</big><a class="headerlink" href="#binhex.hexbin" title="Permalink to this definition">¶</a></dt>
<dd>Decode a binhex file <em>input</em>. <em>input</em> may be a filename or a file-like object
supporting <tt class="xref docutils literal"><span class="pre">read()</span></tt> and <tt class="xref docutils literal"><span class="pre">close()</span></tt> methods. The resulting file is written
to a file named <em>output</em>, unless the argument is omitted in which case the
output filename is read from the binhex file.</dd></dl>
<p>The following exception is also defined:</p>
<dl class="exception">
<dt id="binhex.Error">
<em class="property">exception </em><tt class="descclassname">binhex.</tt><tt class="descname">Error</tt><a class="headerlink" href="#binhex.Error" title="Permalink to this definition">¶</a></dt>
<dd>Exception raised when something can’t be encoded using the binhex format (for
example, a filename is too long to fit in the filename field), or when input is
not properly encoded binhex data.</dd></dl>

<p>There is an alternative, more powerful interface to the coder and decoder, see
the source for details.</p>
<p>If you code or decode textfiles on non-Macintosh platforms they will still use
the old Macintosh newline convention (carriage-return as end of line).</p>
<p>As of this writing, <a title="binhex.hexbin" class="reference internal" href="#binhex.hexbin"><tt class="xref docutils literal"><span class="pre">hexbin()</span></tt></a> appears to not work in all cases.</p>
