The **`base64.b85decode()` method** decodes an encoded bytes-like object into a byte string text using Base85 alphabets.

## Syntax

We can import `b85decode` from `base64` using the following code:
```python
from base64 import b85decode
```

The declaration of the `base64.b85decode()` method is as follows:
```python
base64.b85decode(b_string)
```

The method returns the decoded byte-string.

## Code
The code below demonstrates the use of `base64.b85decode()`:

from base64 import b85encode
from base64 import b85decode
  
b_str = b'Python is awesome!'
print('Data type of \'s\': ', type(b_str))

enc_str = b85encode(b_str)    # encode
dec_str = b85decode(enc_str)    # decode

print('Data type of decoded \'dec_str\': ', type(dec_str))

print('Decoded string: ', dec_str)


### Explanation
In *line 4*, a byte string is initialized and stored in `b_str`. The next line prints the type of `b_str`. In *line 7*, the string is encoded, then in *line 8*, the string is decoded. Finally *line 9* prints the type of the encoded string. Lastly, in *line 11*, the encoded string is printed.
