Agreed for both the Ascii85 encoder and the hg/git brand of base85 (which is used for "binary diffs", by the way). I don't think supporting RFC1924 is useful, though. (I think using "ascii85" and "base85" for those encodings, respectively, provides a nice way to distinguish them) ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue17618> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
