This module encodes and decodes files in binhex4 format, a format allowing representation of Macintosh files in ASCII. On the Macintosh, both forks of a file and the finder information are encoded (or decoded), on other platforms only the data fork is handled.
注意
In Python 3.x, special Macintosh support has been removed.
The binhex 模块定义了下列函数：
Convert a binary file with filename input to binhex file output 。 output parameter can either be a filename or a file-like object (any object supporting a write() and close() 方法)。
Decode a binhex file input . input may be a filename or a file-like object supporting read() and close() methods. The resulting file is written to a file named output , unless the argument is omitted in which case the output filename is read from the binhex file.
还定义了下列异常：
Exception raised when something can’t be encoded using the binhex format (for example, a filename is too long to fit in the filename field), or when input is not properly encoded binhex data.

There is an alternative, more powerful interface to the coder and decoder, see the source for details.
If you code or decode textfiles on non-Macintosh platforms they will still use the old Macintosh newline convention (carriage-return as end of line).
As of this writing, hexbin() appears to not work in all cases.
