And here quixote.html.url_quote does it wrong, imho. If you set

This is interesting. For a unicode argument, the url_quote in quixote
is really the same as urllib.quote.
It doesn't and quixote breaks with a UnicodeDecodeError on urls like
this one: u'/component?test=\xc4'
On python 2.3.5, urllib.quote(u'\xc4') returns '%C4'.
On python 2.4.2, urllib.quote(u'\xc4') raises KeyError.
From rfc3986:
When a new URI scheme defines a component that represents textual
data consisting of characters from the Universal Character Set
[UCS],
the data should first be encoded as octets according to the UTF-8
character encoding [STD63]; then only those octets that do not
correspond to characters in the unreserved set should be percent-
encoded. For example, the character A would be represented as "A",
the character LATIN CAPITAL LETTER A WITH GRAVE would be represented
as "%C3%80", and the character KATAKANA LETTER A would be
represented
as "%E3%82%A2".
This suggests to me that urllib.quote should *always* encode unicode
arguments to 'utf8' first.
Is this a bug in urllib.quote?
