Convert base64 to Image in Python

Question

I have a mongoDB database and I recover base64 data which corresponds to my Image.

I don\'t know how to convert base64 data to an Image.

Building on Christians answer, here the full circle:

import base64

jpgtxt = base64.encodestring(open("in.jpg","rb").read())

f = open("jpg1_b64.txt", "w")
f.write(jpgtxt)
f.close()

# ----
newjpgtxt = open("jpg1_b64.txt","rb").read()

g = open("out.jpg", "w")
g.write(base64.decodestring(newjpgtxt))
g.close()

or this way:

jpgtxt = open('in.jpg','rb').read().encode('base64').replace('\n','')

f = open("jpg1_b64.txt", "w")
f.write(jpgtxt)
f.close()

# ----
newjpgtxt = open("jpg1_b64.txt","rb").read()

g = open("out.jpg", "w")
g.write(newjpgtxt.decode('base64'))
g.close()
