I agree with you. The dictionary project I am working on (Dutch <> Japanese) uses in the URLs UTF-8 characters and things just worked with reasonably new browsers (at least no problems with Opera 9, Firefox 2 and 3, Internet Explorer 7 and Safari 3). Then later Armin Ronacher warned me that you still have to URL-escape these things in order to not be in lala-land. Would people object if such functionality got added to urllib? -- Jeroen Ruigrok van der Werven <asmodai(-at-)in-nomine.org> / asmodai イェルーン ラウフロック ヴァン デル ウェルヴェン http://www.in-nomine.org/ | http://www.rangaku.org/ | GPG: 2EAC625B If Winter comes, can Spring be far behind..? _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
