Buffer.from(<string>, 'hex') equivalent in Python-CodePudding

I have a typescript library that I need to translate into Python. I am using the library bs58 in Typescript and its equivalent base58 library in python.

My problem is coming when I try to replicate this:


const decodedTxHash = Buffer.from('34cc2932f90774851410a536e3db2c2e61266a1587fbc15e7e9c79b41631ac74', 'hex')
        
const nearBurnTxHash = bs58.encode(decodedTxHash)

This results in: 4Z6m9qjt9BNxTF1SdDw3bzYGXYzMp2gTmwRy5AJxpNps

What would be the way to get the same result in Python? I can tell you that I tried all I could think of about making it into a bytearray, feeding it as a string as bytes, nothing gave me the same result.

Any ideas?

CodePudding user response：

According to your title you're only asking on how to convert hex into bytes which can simply be archived by bytes.fromhex("<some hex in here>").
A full working example for your code will be:

import base58
raw_bytes = bytes.fromhex("34cc2932f90774851410a536e3db2c2e61266a1587fbc15e7e9c79b41631ac74")
b58_encoded = base58.b58encode(raw_bytes)

print(b58_encoded)
