OK sure, there are some other things broken, but they are mostly not dealing
with string data, but binary data (for example, zlib expects a sequence of
bytes, not characters).
Just one quick point:
> urllib.urlretrieve("file:///tmp/hé")
> UnicodeError: URL u'file:///tmp/h\xc3\xa9' contains non-ASCII characters
That's precisely correct behaviour. URLs are not allowed to contain non-ASCII
characters (that's the whole point of urllib.quote). urllib.quote should accept
non-ASCII characters (for conversion into ASCII strings). Other URL processing
functions should not accept non-ASCII characters, since they aren't valid URIs.
