Why the inconsistent of those two base64 methods?

[Leo Jay]

I'd like to encode a string in base64, but I found a inconsistent of
two methods:


as you can see, the result of
'aaa'.encode('base64')
has a '\n' at the end, but the other method doesn't.

Why the inconsistent?
Thanks.

'YWFh'

Why the inconsistent?

Don't know. Does it matter?

'aaa'

'aaa'

(so far so good, and as expected)

'aaa'

'aaa'

(As far as I can see, both methods are completely consistent)

Yeah...
False

Your notion of 'consistency' is wanting.
