This is a reasonable idea.  Jeremy, if you have a minute, can you review
this?

It looks good, except for accepting tuples: that's, IMHO,
unneeded featurism. 

If it is accepted, here are docs:
(replace the current docs for urlencode by:)

\begin{funcdesc}{urlencode}{data}
Convert a list of 2-tuples or a dictionary (treated as a
list of (key, value) 2-tuples) to a ``url-encoded'' string, suitable to
pass to
\function{urlopen()} above as the optional \var{data} argument.  This
is useful to pass a dictionary of form fields to a \code{POST}
request.  The resulting string is a series of
\code{\var{key}=\var{value}} pairs separated by \character{\&}
characters, where both \var{key} and \var{value} are quoted using
\function{quote_plus()} above.
\end{funcdesc}

Assigning to Jeremy 'cause he seems the urllib guy <wink>
