Martin Panter <vadmium...@gmail.com> added the comment: I wrote an incremental base-64 decoder for the "codecs" module in Issue 27799, which you could use. It just does some preprocessing using a regular expression to pick four-character chunks before passing the data to a2b_base64. Or maybe implementing it properly in the "binascii" module is better.
Quickly reading RFC 2045, I saw it says "All line breaks or other characters not found in Table 1 [64 alphabet characters plus padding character] must be ignored by decoding software." So this is a real bug, although I think a base-64 encoder that triggers it would be rare. ---------- nosy: +martin.panter _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue32491> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
