[issue10970] string.encode('base64') is not the same as base64.b64encode(string)

Mahmoud Abdelkader mabdelka...@gmail.com added the comment: Thanks for the clarification Terry. This is indeed not a bug. For reference, the pieces of code I pasted line-wrapped after the 76th character, which was my main source of confusion. After reading RFC3548, I am now informed
