File "/usr/lib/python3.1/imaplib.py", line 1257, in encode e = binascii.b2a_base64(t) imaplib._Authenticator.encode() calls binascii.b2a_base64() function. In Python 2.6 that function returns a string, and in Python 3.1 it returns bytes. What is returned from b2a_base64() function is later in the encode() function concatenated with a string, with bytes that is not possible. Should binascii.b2a_base64() return a string (2.6) or bytes (3.1)?
