New submission from STINNER Victor: The base64.b64encode() function calls binascii.b2a_base64() and then strips the newline. It would be more efficient to directly not add a newline.
Attached patch adds an optional newline parameter to binascii.b2a_base64(). It also modifies base64.b64encode() to call binascii.b2a_base64() with newline=False. ---------- files: binascii_b2a_base64_newline.patch keywords: patch messages: 252625 nosy: haypo priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Add an optional newline parameter to binascii.b2a_base64() to not add a newline type: performance versions: Python 3.6 Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file40731/binascii_b2a_base64_newline.patch _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue25357> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
