Encode and decode MIME quoted-printable data
This module performs quoted-printable transport encoding and decoding,
as defined in RFC 1521: ``MIME (Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions)
Part One''. The quoted-printable encoding is designed for data where
there are relatively few nonprintable characters; the base64 encoding
scheme available via the base64 module is more compact if there
are many such characters, as when sending a graphics file.
decode(input, output)
- Decode the contents of the input file and write the resulting
decoded binary data to the output file.
input and output must either be file objects or objects that
mimic the file object interface. input will be read until
input.read() returns an empty string.
encode(input, output, quotetabs)
- Encode the contents of the input file and write the resulting
quoted-printable data to the output file.
input and output must either be file objects or objects that
mimic the file object interface. input will be read until
input.read() returns an empty string.
