I filed a bug in Python's buglist, and have further information
available. However, I can't seem to add a reply as a guest. Is there
any way I can add more information to the ticket as a guest, or do I
have to get an account? If I need an account, how do I go about getting
it?
Anyway, below is the additional information that needs to go into bug
#110.
-----
Seems like it's the '====' which is generating the problem. According
to a relevant RFC that I just found (rfc1521, section 5.2), '====' is
not a valid set of characters in a base64 encoded string. It is the
ending marker than uu(de/en)code uses to detect the end of the file
(oops).
Still, binascii ought to generate an intelligent exception rather than
doing a SystemError. I should have a fix in a bit.
