How to convert MIME png back to a regular image

Based on this stackoverflow post, this worked:

<line_from_your_gist_assigning_to_string>
import base64
with open("imageToSave.png", "wb") as fh:
    fh.write(base64.decodebytes(str.encode(string)))

Replace the <line_from_your_gist_assigning_to_string> with the raw content of your gist.

Used the route of my_str_as_bytes from this stackoverflow post to convert your string text to bytes.
However, I found that replacing the str.encode(string) part of my suggested code with string.encode(), and according to Antti Haapala’s answer that may perhaps be better.
