[issue9725] urllib.request.FancyURLopener won't connect to pages requiring username and password

[Petr Machek]

New submission from Petr Machek <petr6.6 at seznam.cz>:

Code:

import urllib.request

class MyOpener(urllib.request.FancyURLopener):
    prompt_user_passwd = lambda x, y, z: ("username", "password")

opener = MyOpener()
page = opener.open("http://riddle.p4x.ch/music")
print(page.readlines())


opener.open() call ends with error for every page requiring login via prompt_user_password(). urllib/request.py tries to encode password with base64 without conversion to bytes which is required for base64.b64encode() in Python 3.1. Even after applying conversion to bytes, another new error is generated
