[issue29750] smtplib doesn't handle unicode passwords

[R. David Murray]

R. David Murray <rdmurray at bitdance.com> added the comment:

Note: it is definitely the case, regardless of what the RFC says, that binary passwords need to be supported.  utf-8 should probably be used as the default encoding for string passwords, rather than ascii.  See also #33741.
