[Python-Dev] urllib.quote and unquote - Unicode issues

The issue isn't circular. It's been patched and tested, then a whole lot of
people agreed including Guido. Then you and Bill wanted the bytes
functionality back. So I wrote that in there too, and Bill at least said
that was sufficient.

We've reached, to quote Guido, "as close as consensus as we can get on this
issue".

There is a bug in Python. I've proposed a working fix, and nobody else has.
Guido okayed it. I made all the changes the community suggested. What more
needs to be discussed here?
