`!quopri` --- Encode and decode MIME quoted-printable data

decode(input, output, header=False, *, strip_ws=False)

Decode the contents of the input file and write the resulting decoded binary data to the output file. input and output must be binary file objects <file object>. If the optional argument header is present and true, underscore will be decoded as space. This is used to decode "Q"-encoded headers as described in 1522: "MIME (Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions) Part Two: Message Header Extensions for Non-ASCII Text". If the optional argument strip_ws is true, trailing whitespace is stripped from each line, as required by 2045.

encode(input, output, quotetabs, header=False)

Encode the contents of the input file and write the resulting quoted-printable data to the output file. input and output must be binary file objects <file object>. quotetabs, a non-optional flag which controls whether to encode embedded spaces and tabs; when true it encodes such embedded whitespace, and when false it leaves them unencoded. Note that spaces and tabs appearing at the end of lines are always encoded, as per 1521. header is a flag which controls if spaces are encoded as underscores as per 1522.

decodestring(s, header=False, *, strip_ws=False)

Like decode, except that it accepts a source bytes and returns the corresponding decoded bytes.

encodestring(s, quotetabs=False, header=False)

Like encode, except that it accepts a source bytes and returns the corresponding encoded bytes. By default, it sends a False value to quotetabs parameter of the encode function.
