Comment (by anuradha1904):

 For extracting the ed25519 public key, I am removing the first 32 byte
 from the binary and saving the remaining file like this:-
 with
 open("/home/anuradha/chutney/net/nodes/000a/keys/ed25519_master_id_public_key",
 'r', errors = 'ignore') as f:
         f.seek(32)
         rest = f.read()
         print(rest)

 I am currently adding the hardcoded path for testing, will chnage it in
 the original file.
 When I am printing the rest of the binary file, i do get the key i need,
 however when I try to convert it to base64, i get the error "ValueError:
 string argument should contain only ASCII characters", i tried searching
 but could not get the satified answer. How should i go with the problem?
 Kindly guide me.
