[issue9301] urllib.quote(None) returns None in 2.7 (raised TypeError before)

[Dirkjan Ochtman]

New submission from Dirkjan Ochtman <dirkjan at ochtman.nl>:

Rejecting invalid input seems better in this case. This was changed in issue1285086. Can we preface the normal fast path with something like:

    if s is None:
        raise TypeError('can only quote strings')

It used to raise:

    Traceback (most recent call last):
      File "/usr/lib64/python2.6/urllib.py", line 1222, in quote
        res = map(safe_map.__getitem__, s)
    TypeError: argument 2 to map() must support iteration
