Martin Panter added the comment: As far as I know, non-ASCII newlines and whitespace are not supported in Python source code, so there is not a big need to support it in bytes.fromhex() either. But since bytes.fromhex() accepts Unicode strings, I think non-ASCII whitespace would be okay if it was easy to implement.
Serhiy: Whitespace is not treated specially by the base-64 decoders, it is just treated like any non-alphabet character. See <https://docs.python.org/3/library/base64.html#base64.b64decode> and b64decode(validate=True). Regarding hex-codec, I doubt many people use it in Python 3. To decode a whole string, binascii.unhexlify() or bytes.fromhex() is probably more obvious, and I think the incremental decoder never worked properly (Issue 20132). ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue28927> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
