[issue35041] urllib.parse.quote safe Parameter Not Optional

[Ammar Askar]

Ammar Askar <ammar at ammaraskar.com> added the comment:

I agree that 

urllib.parse.quote("/", safe=['/'])

should probably work. It looks like the reason it doesn't is because quote tries to normalize the safe iterable to ASCII characters only. As part of this it attempts to run `< 128` on each element of safe.

As part of this it does

'/' < 128

and fails.
