stringify

privex.helpers.common.stringify(data: Optional[Union[str, bytes]], encoding='utf-8', if_none=None) → str

Convert a piece of data into a string (from bytes) if it isn’t already:

>>> stringify(b"hello world")
"hello world"

By default, if data is None, then None will be returned.

If you’d rather convert None into a blank string, use if_node="", like so:

>>> repr(stringify(None))
'None'
>>> stringify(None, if_none="")
''
