'seems to' is correct: it should *probably* have given you '%C3%E9'. > > Is this a known bug? > > What's the workaround? UTF-8 encode the url before quoting it. *Some* web servers may not expect utf-8 encoding. utf-8 is the recommended encoding, but unfortunately it isn't actually required, so a few (mostly old) servers may expect something else. If so, use the appropriate encoding for the server. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
