Re: Help converting python one-liner...
If json need utf8, then the last line needs to be:
put textEncode(base64Image,"UTF-8") into encodedImageData
textEncode will convert the bas64 data (stored in livecode as 16bit characters)
to UTF8

The python code does the decode("utf-8") step at the end - so I guess
there is some issue with raw base64 encoding in json?

put textDecode (base64Image, "UTF-8") into encodedImageData

This is just a guess, but I thing your last line needs to be:
put textEncode(base64Image,"UTF-8") into encodedImageData
textDecode in Livecode converts from the format (UTF-8) to Livecode's
16bit internal unicode
textEncode converts from livecode's internal 16bit unicode to the
indicated format (UTF-8).
