[New-bugs-announce] [issue29750] smtplib doesn't handle unicode passwords

[david]

New submission from david:

Trying to use unicode passwords on smtplib fails miserably on python3.
My particular issue arises on line 643 of said library:

(code, resp) = self.docmd(encode_base64(password.encode('ascii'), eol=''))

which obviously dies when trying to handle unicode chars.
