Aim: to open a text file, read its hexadecimal contents, convert each hexadecimal line to ascii, print ascii code.
Assume binascii module imported

my code: code=txt.read().replace('\n', '').replace('\r', '').replace(' ', '')
code.strip()
for chunk in code:
print(binascii.unhexlify(chunk))

Output: binascii.Error: Odd-length string

How do I fix this? Why are 'strip' and 'replace' insufficient?

@tomasino I listened to some stuff on phlogging, about VF-1, I feel compelled to make a Catholic joke about self-phloggers...

@tomasino yeah groundbreaking shoutout on tilderadio.org!

@tomasino TFTShoutout!

@tomasino I'm listening

@salixlucida in Washington State, at least one county has prepaid postage on envelopes AND ballot collection boxes outside public libraries. Voters in every state should have it so easy.

Good TZAG ☕

@gemlog yes @martin is also an appreciative listener. It's great for CRTC rules -- "we're missing out on our requisite CanCon on the playlist!" Someone pulls out an Iron Butterfly CD: "We got this!"

Is it okay for Canadians to listen to this? Boney M - "Gadda Da Vida" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3P2jjJmrqBQ

@art 50000 IU Vitamin D3. Or 25000 IU. i took 50000 IU at the onset of flu. I felt bad for 8 hours but it beat suffering at the same level for 9 times as long.

dear #anonradio #DJs who play #electronica, #triphop and house music, at least four #SDF #Mastodon regular users love Amon Tobin. Please consider spreading that aural splendor to others in upcoming programs. Thank you from an enthusiastic and frequent Anonradio listener.

Listening to Amon Tobin's "Bridge" from the Permutation album on #wfmu at present. If I should hear Amon Tobin on a #sdf show, live or broadcast, I will boost that show weekly for four weeks (four times total). Amon Tobin, what I've heard so far, is ear candy.

Nos bibere capulus saluto te.

@tomasino listening to a Stereolab-reminiscent artist "Vanishing Twin" track from its album "Choose Your Own Adventure" on #WFMU. The broadcast'll be archived, if you want to sample it.

@dokuja Could be, but I've crossed into Point Roberts and the scenery wasn't like that. Point Roberts crossing is the only point I can think of where Canada Border Officers are waggish and lax enough to let me in.

We crossed the border from the US to Canada 'illegally' with someone who'd obviously done this before. "This is how that French girl got imprisoned in US for 2 weeks," I shuddered. "Nothing will happen to you, you're Canadian!" I was told. In some fabricated shopping village we were indeed asked for ID. "Uh, I have this!" I proffered. "You look young in this!" "Oh that's my kid's ID. Ask me a Canada question. Here's a photo of me, but no ID." "That's OK, you're one of us. Welcome back."
