New submission from Kyle Glowacki: Looking in the man pages for the uuencode and uudecode (http://www.manpagez.com/man/5/uuencode/), I see that the encoding used to go from ascii 32 to 95 but that 32 is deprecated and generally newer releases go from 33-96 (with 96 being used in place of 32). This replaces the " " in the encoding with "`".
For example, the newest version of busybox only accepts the new encoding. The uu package has no way to specify to use this new encoding making it a pain to integrate. Oddly, the uu.decode function does properly decode files encoded using "`", but encode is unable to create them. ---------- components: Extension Modules messages: 291893 nosy: LawfulEvil priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: uu package uses old encoding type: behavior versions: Python 3.4 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue30103> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
