R. David Murray added the comment: You are looking for the (new in Python 3) 'validate' option of b64decode:
>>> base64.b64decode(b"GET >>> http://www.google.com.hk/search?q=hotels+near+airport&pws=1&igu=1&ip=0.0.0.0&safe=images&gl=CN&gll=39.913889,116.391667&near=china&hl=zh-CN";, >>> validate=True) Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> File "/home/rdmurray/python/p34/Lib/base64.py", line 87, in b64decode raise binascii.Error('Non-base64 digit found') binascii.Error: Non-base64 digit found In Python2, the base64 module unfortunately only handles the applications of RFC 3548 where non-base64 alphabet characters are required to be ignored. (Those are (or were?) the primary applications of the RFC, by the way, which is why it was implemented that way originally.) ---------- nosy: +r.david.murray resolution: -> out of date stage: -> committed/rejected status: open -> closed _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue19208> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
