Python went through a period of time where lots of things just got stuck
in the standard library without any particula taxonomy. Hence ending up
with base64, binascii, binhex, quopri, and uu all being separate
top-level modules, only some of which got tidied up in Python 3.

As someone who has done a lot of work with email in other languages,
"quopri" is not a name I'd expect or look for first pass for dealing
with MIME quoted-printable encoding. (Me, being me, I'd probably just
write it for myself if I didn't quickly find it while working with
email.)

I have not tried, but should work.

Best to install the terminal app from the MS app store.
Most use I make is to ssh into linux systems and stuff like editors.
Colour output and cursor movement all work.
