Gre7g, Jim, base64 can only be decoded 'strict'. In Unicode.py, on
line 113 you try to decode with the 'Errors' parameter and if it fails
with a TypeError you decode with the default. The problem with base64
is that it fails with an AssertionError. Could you just catch any
exception and retry with the default? I.e.,
try:
Uni = Decoder(Str, errors = Errors)[0]
except:
Uni = Decoder(Str)[0]
That would fix the problem Michael is having and would, I think,
better accomplish what you're trying to solve by catching the
exception in the first place.
