I would like to JSON encode some PDF and Excel files. I can read the content:
pdf = open("somefile.pdf", "rb").read()
but now what? json.dumps() insists on treating it as a string to be
interpreted as utf-8, and bytes == str in Python 2.x. I can't
json.dumps() a bytearray. I can pickle the raw content and json.dumps
that, but I can't guarantee the listener at the other end will be
written in Python. Am I going to have to do something like
base64-encode the raw bytes to transmit them?
Thx,
Skip
