Decoding can be realized via the standard python library. However Ascii85 and Base85 use a different character set so we would need both.
# Default ASCII85 Encoding
In [5]: base64.a85encode(b'Hello World!')
Out[5]: b'87cURD]i,"Ebo80'
# ADOBE ASCII85 Encoding
# Interesting for e.g.: .ps or .eps files especially in printer firmware
In [4]: base64.a85encode(b'Hello World!', adobe=True)
Out[4]: b'<~87cURD]i,"Ebo80~>'
# Default Base85 Encoding
In [6]: base64.b85encode(b'Hello World!')
Out[6]: b'NM&qnZy;B1a%^NF'
Additionally there is a Z85
encoding (see: https://rfc.zeromq.org/spec:32/Z85/), which is a derivative of ASCII85. It is not yet in the base64
standard python library (see: https://bugs.python.org/issue31116).
Except for the Adobe variant the others seem to not have any trivial delimiter to grep for.
resolved in #28
ascii85 was found in samples (e.g.

) and currently there is no unpacker
