the ascii to binary and binary to ascii conversion is carried out by the in-built binascii module. it has a very straight forward usage with functions which take the input data and do the conversion. the below program shows the use of binascii module and its functions named b2a_uu and a2b_uu. the uu stands for "unix-to-unix encoding" which takes care of the data conversion from strings to binary and ascii values as required by the program.

import binascii

text = "simply easy learning"

# converting binary to ascii
data_b2a = binascii.b2a_uu(text)
print "**binary to ascii** \n"
print data_b2a

# converting back from ascii to binary 
data_a2b = binascii.a2b_uu(data_b2a)
print "**ascii to binary** \n"
print data_a2b

when we run the above program we get the following output −

**binary to ascii**
