raise UnicodeError, "label too long"

[Flavio]

something like this, for instance:
http://.wikipedia.org/wiki/Copper%28II%29_hydroxide

but even url with any non-ascii characters such as this

http://.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ammonia

also fail when passed to urlopen :
File "/usr/lib/python2.4/encodings/idna.py", line 72, in ToASCII
    raise UnicodeError, "label too long"
UnicodeError: label too long

very strange, because I tried other unicode urls  from the python
console like this

urllib2.urlopen(u'www.google.com')

and it works normally:
