The encodestring is following RFC 1521 which speficies:
The output stream (encoded bytes) must be represented in lines of no
more than 76 characters each. All line breaks or other characters
not found in Table 1 must be ignored by decoding software.
In retrospect, perhaps "{de|en}codestring" was a poor name choice.
urllib2 should be calling b64encode directly.
I have submitted a patch to the tracker: [ 1574068 ] urllib2 - Fix line
breaks in authorization headers.
