New submission from Monty Evans: Tested in Python 2.7 and 3.5 - the base64 module contains a couple of decoding methods, 'standard_b64decode()' and 'b66decode()' which incorrectly decode certain invalid base64 strings. This is outlined in detail here: "https://stackoverflow.com/questions/44347819/python-3-5-base64-decoding-seems-to-be-incorrect";. I've checked with a few other developers, and they agree that there is an issue here. I can't see that the issue has been resolved on the bug tracker, so I've worked up an alternative version of "standard_b64decode()" which I'll upload, which ought to solve the issue.
