   Count me too: +1. Most sites I use theese days use UTF-8 for URL
encoding. Examples:

Wikipedia:
http://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D0%93%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%BE_%D0%B2%D0%B0%D0%BD_%D0%A0%D0%BE%D1%81%D1%81%D1%83%D0%BC

LingVo (Russian-English dictionary):
http://lingvo.yandex.ru/en?text=%D0%BF%D0%B8%D1%82%D0%BE%D0%BD

>>> print urllib.quote(unicode('питон', 'koi8-r').encode('utf-8'))
%D0%BF%D0%B8%D1%82%D0%BE%D0%BD

           Programmers don't die, they just GOSUB without RETURN.
