How can I know if a string is ascii format and whiche base like: base64,or base32 ... with python I tried 

import base64
from binascii import Error
try:
        string = base64.b64decode(data)
except Error:
        return False

the problem with this code that's it isn't accurate and doesn't tell which base is the string

    It's not even valid syntactically. What are you trying to do here? Could you give some inputs and expected vs actual outputs? – jonrsharpe Jan 19 '20 at 18:29
  • you mean like [this](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/436220/how-to-determine-the-encoding-of-text)? – MrFuppes Jan 19 '20 at 18:55
  • the input is a string and output is whether the string is encoded in binascii and which base Hope i explained thank you :) – ali filali Jan 19 '20 at 20:18
