I didn't think to look at the standards for the auth mechanisms, I only looked at the smtp standards. So, if the standard says utf-8, then we should use that. But we should still support bytes passwords so that an application could work around issues like the possible ms-exchange one, if they need to. Those could be two separate PRs, though. In fact, they probably should be. As a standards-compliance issue, we would be within our rules to backport the utf-8 standards-compliance fix. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue29750> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
