Summary: urllib.quote et al do lowercase %xx

Initial Comment:
The python 2.0 urllib has %%%x as a format when quoting forbidden characters.  There are scripts out there that break with lower case,
therefore I guess %%%X should be used.

OK, reopened, but I'd like to find out what the problem is
here. It sounds like there are servers that only accept
lowercase in %xx-encoded URLs. It seems that those servers
are broken, right?

Or is there a different problem?

Actually, now there are scripts that break the new way (with upper case)!
Perhaps this should be a selectable option...minimally, a optional argument to urllib.quote and 
urllib.quote_plus.
