+0.5 for this second option. But what will happen to all the other names
urllib2 currently imports from urllib that aren't "quotey"?
from urllib import (unwrap, unquote, splittype, splithost,
addinfourl, splitport, splitgophertype, splitquery,
splitattr, ftpwrapper, noheaders, splituser, splitpasswd,
splitvalue)
I wouldn't mind if "urllib's utility functions" just moved into
url.parse. Then we'd have one module for parsing (and unparsing) URL's
and one for actually using them.
