STINNER Victor <victor.stinner at haypocalc.com> added the comment:
About quoted printable, there are two implementations:
- binascii.a2b_qp() (Modules/binascii.c): C implementation, use
PyArg_ParseTupleAndKeywords(args, kwargs, "s*|i", ...) to parse the
data
- quopri.decode() (Lib/quopri.py): Python implementation
=> quopri.decodestring() uses io.BytesIO() to parse the data
But quopri.decodestring() reuses binascii.a2b_qp() if the binascii
module is present. So quopri.decodestring behaviour depends of the
presence of binascii module...
- binascii present: accept bytes or unicode
- missing binascii: accept only bytes!
binascii.a2b_qp() encodes unicode string to UTF-8 bytes string.
