Yes, in the email module, the payload is an unicode string, not a bytes string. We have to be able to concatenate headers (eg. "Content-Type: image/fish\nMIME-Version: 1.0\nContent-Transfer-Encoding: base64\n") and encoded data (eg. "R0lGO"). Attached patch implements this fix: encode_base64() returns str (and not bytes). The patchs fixes the unit tests and adds a new regression test for MIMEImage.as_string(). ---------- nosy: +haypo _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue4768> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
