Martin Panter added the comment: While porting the Python 3 changes over, I noticed some related problems in the Python 2 and 3 documentation:
* Due to the internal alphabet translation, characters that are in the original base-64 alphabet (+ and /) are not discarded, even if an alternative alphabet is specified * Doc strings of standard_ and urlsafe_b64decode() need fixing as well * Found some copy-paste errors in the doc strings * There are only two distinct base-64 alphabets defined by the RFCs, not three. The URL-safe alphabet and the filename-safe alphabet are the same thing. Here is a patch for review. I will hold off on this until Issue 1753718 has been sorted out to avoid conflicts in the Python 3 docs. ---------- keywords: +patch nosy: +martin.panter stage: -> patch review versions: +Python 3.5, Python 3.6 Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file41301/base64-discard.patch _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue22088> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
