Eric <surprisin...@gmail.com> added the comment: I checked the latest documentation for 3.1.1 (http://docs.python.org/3.1/library/imaplib.html), but I can't find any reference to needing to encode information myself for the login procedure. Is there some other documentation you are referring to?
In any case, the error wasn't returned by the server, but by imaplib. If the arg needs to be encoded for the whole process, then the arg should be checked for the appropriate type (I think the doc even says "plain text password"), or an optional encoding argument for the relevant functions (or a catchall used when connecting to the server?) with a default encoding attempted. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue6734> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
