This is with python 3.1.2 (r312:79147). I have not tried with 2.7. When I create an attachment with email.mime.image.MIMEImage, by default it uses email.encoders.encode_base64 for the encoder, but that results in a single line base64 string, instead of the recommended multiple 76-chars lines.

Hi guys, I'm working on debugging a large python simulation which begins by preloading a huge cache of data. I want to step through code on many runs to do the debugging. Problem is that it takes 20 seconds to load the cache at each launch. (Cache is a dict in a 200Mb cPickle binary file). So
