Serhiy Storchaka added the comment:
The difference between 2.7 and 3.x is that 2.7 uses isalnum() in IS_BASE64, and
3.x test concrete ranges. Therefore depending on platform and locale 2.7 can
accept wrong bytes as BASE64 characters and return incorrect result. Following
patch makes 2.7 code the same as 3.x. Tests are changed to fail with large
probability with unpatched code ('\xe1' is an alnum on almost all 8-bit
locales).
