What's a better way of escaping filenames than the following awkward way?

    from string import digits, ascii_letters

    f = 'hello%-world\/.py'

    def escape_filename(filename):
        safe_characters = ascii_letters + digits + ' -_.'
        s = ''
        for c in filename:
            if c in safe_characters:
                s += c
            else:
                assert ord(c) < 0x100, 'ERROR: c aint 8-bit'
                s += '#%02X' % ord(c)
        return s

    print repr(f), repr(escape_filename(f))
