[New-bugs-announce] [issue24422] base64 not encode correctly

[Hector Cloud]

New submission from Hector Cloud:

I use Python 3.4.0 now. But its base64 encoding is not as expected.
----------------------------
import base64
ascii = base64.b64encode(u"YAU-interview-revised20120921".encode(), b'-_')
print(ascii)
----------------------------
The result is b'WUFVLWludGVydmlldy1yZXZpc2VkMjAxMjA5MjE='. There is a character '=' at the end which is not expected. In my opinion, the result should contain characters [A-Za-z0-9] and '-_'. The '=' should not be in the encoding result.

Is it a bug?
