We just noticed that, in Python 2.4.2,
urllib.quote(u'\xe9') raises a KeyError.
In Python 2.4.1, the exception is not raised,

In any case you should not try to quote unicode strings. It's
meaningless. Always .encode() it to the client encoding.
That is a good and interesting point.
Here's the background story, in case anyone is interested.
We ran into this here in an old function that renders a link
with a quoted "title" in a query string. This was safe until
we started supporting unicode and non-ascii characters
actually appeared in titles. We'll need to encode first,
as you suggest.
