New submission from Derek Wilson: Issue #17618 introduced base85 options into the base64 module including b85 and a85/adobe variants.
There has since been introduced a variant that is easier to work with specifically as it avoids " ' \ characters which avoids quoting/escaping issues when working with base85 literals in python, json, xml, etc. https://rfc.zeromq.org/spec:32/Z85/ there is a reference implementation in c for which an extension could easily be built. alternately it would be very easy to add a _z85alphabet etc. to the base64 module to mirror what has been done with a/b85. 1) is there any interest in this being in the language 2) if so do we want python impl or c extension around ref impl? ---------- components: Library (Lib) messages: 299724 nosy: underrun priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: base85 z85 variant encoding type: enhancement versions: Python 3.7 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue31116> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
