New submission from Craig Holmquist:
If the authenticator object passed to the IMAP authenticate method tries to
abort the handshake by returning None, TypeError is raised instead of sending
the * line to the server.
>>> import imaplib
>>> imap = imaplib.IMAP4_SSL('imap.gmail.com')
>>> imap.authenticate(b'PLAIN', lambda x: None)
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<pyshell#5>", line 1, in <module>
imap.authenticate(b'PLAIN', lambda x: None)
File "C:\Python34\lib\imaplib.py", line 380, in authenticate
typ, dat = self._simple_command('AUTHENTICATE', mech)
File "C:\Python34\lib\imaplib.py", line 1133, in _simple_command
return self._command_complete(name, self._command(name, *args))
File "C:\Python34\lib\imaplib.py", line 940, in _command
self.send(literal)
File "C:\Python34\lib\imaplib.py", line 276, in send
self.sock.sendall(data)
File "C:\Python34\lib\ssl.py", line 723, in sendall
v = self.send(data[count:])
File "C:\Python34\lib\ssl.py", line 684, in send
v = self._sslobj.write(data)
TypeError: 'str' does not support the buffer interface
The problem is that _Authenticator.process returns a string instead of bytes in
this case.
