At least half of ascii85 encoders in wild implement this variant. I think we can provide a universal solution compatible (with some pre/postprocessing) with both variants. Enclose encoded data in <~ and ~> or not, and at which column wrap an encoded data. Padding can be easy implemented as preprocessing (data + (-len(data)) % 4 * b'\0'). As for Git/Mercurial's base85, what other applications use this encoding? ---------- _______________________________________ 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
