In this issue I would really like to aim for Mercurial/git-like behaviour: i.e. no special shortcuts, and no armoring ('<~' and '~>'). Also, the base85 alphabet used by Mercurial and git may be different, I haven't checked. (by the way, it seems "btoa" has been dead for a long time, I don't think it's useful as a reference here) ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue17618> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
