I've got what's supposed to be a UCS-2 encoded xml document that I've managed to build a DOM based on minidom after some tweaking.
The issue is that I'm supposed to have some data encoded on base64. I know for a fact that:
AME= (or \x00A\x00M\x00E\x00=) is base64 code for Á
How would I decode that?
http://www.fileformat.info/info/unicode/char/00c1/index.htm shows that the unicode representation for Á is: u"\u00C1" and in UTF-16: 0x00C1
base64.b64decode('AME=').decode('UTF-16')
shows
u'\uc100'
as the unicode representation for the character, but it looks byte-swapped.
Any idea on how to decode it?
