I actually wonder.

There seems to be the consensus to avoid += (to some extent). Can someone commit the change to urrllib then? I'm talking about reverting http://bugs.python.org/issue1285086 specifically

That's unquoting of URLs, strings that aren't particularly long, normally. And it's not in any tight loops. I'm astonished that any change makes any noticeable speed difference here at all. //Lennart
