[New-bugs-announce] [issue17353] Plistlib outputs empty data tags when deeply nested

[Jacques Fortier]

New submission from Jacques Fortier:

To reproduce:
import plistlib
print plistlib.writePlistToString([[[[[[[[[{'test': plistlib.Data('aaaaaa')}]]]]]]]]])

Compare to:
print plistlib.writePlistToString([[[[[[[[{'test': Data('aaaaaa')}]]]]]]]])

It looks like the max line length calculation in the Data class is causing the output to be empty once you get nested far enough.
