Martin Panter added the comment: Here is a patch that clarifies in the documentation and test suite how newlines work in the “quopri” and “binascii” modules. It also fixes the native Python implementation to support CRLFs.
* \n is used by default (e.g. for soft line breaks if the input has no hard line breaks) * CRLF is used instead if found in input (even in non-text mode!) * Typo errors in documentation * quopri uses istext=True * header flag does not affect newline encoding; only istext affects it One corner case concerns me slightly: binascii.b2a_qp(istext=False) will use \n for soft line breaks by default, but will suddenly switch to CRLF if the input data happens to contain a CRLF sequence. This is despite the CRLFs from the data being encoded and therefore not appearing in the output themselves. ---------- assignee: -> docs@python components: +Documentation keywords: +patch nosy: +docs@python Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file37756/quopri-newline.patch _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue20121> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
