What is the best way to convert a pdf file into base64Binary?

Question

Using python, I want to convert a pdf file into base64Binary

My logic(not python) is reading the contents of the file into a byte array and then use something like Convert.ToBase64String() method to get the Base64 string:

byte[] pdfBytes = File.ReadAllBytes(pdfPath);
string pdfBase64 = Convert.ToBase64String(pdfBytes);

Please let me know what is the right approach to convert a pdf file into base64Binary in python

def pdf_to_base64(file):
    file_bytes = base64.b64encode(file.read())
    base_64 = file_bytes.decode("ascii")
    return base_64
