Nick Coghlan <ncogh...@gmail.com> added the comment:
As David noted, we updated all the URL parsing functions to be polymorphic back
in 3.2:
https://docs.python.org/3/library/urllib.parse.html#parsing-ascii-encoded-bytes
We left the quoting functions alone, because they already had their own way of
dealing with the bytes-vs-str distinction (quote_from_bytes, unquote_to_bytes,
etc) that meant the polymorphic approach we adopted for the parsing functions
didn't make sense.
That said, I think it would be reasonable to enhance unquote() to accept a
bytes object, processing it as follows:
unquote_to_bytes(string).decode(encoding, errors)
