[issue2637] urllib.quote() escapes characters unnecessarily and contrary to docs

[Tom Pinckney]

Tom Pinckney <thomaspinckney3 at gmail.com> added the comment:

It also looks like urllib.quote (and quote_plus) do not properly handle 
unicode strings. urllib.urlencode() properly converts unicode strings to 
utf-8 encoded ascii strings before then calling urllib.quote() on them.
