New submission from Sebastian Rittau <srit...@rittau.biz>:
smtplib's authobject() callback is supposed to return bytes, according to both the documentation at https://docs.python.org/3/library/smtplib.html as well as the docstring of SMTP.auth(). This does neither match the implementation of auth(), which immediately calls encode() on the return value, nor that of the auth_cram_md5() et al, which return str. ---------- assignee: docs@python components: Documentation messages: 324209 nosy: docs@python, srittau priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: smtplib's authobject return value wrongly documented versions: Python 3.7 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue34525> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
