So if you look at a current version of urllib.parse on Python 3.1 you
can observe the following behavior:

- quote and quote_plus are written to support bytes by forwarding the
  call to

- the unquote and unquote_plus functions do not work with bytes at all.
  You can currently quote to bytes, but don't go the other way.

- None of the URL parsing functions currently work with bytes.

- None of the URL joining functions currently work with bytes.

- You cannot specifiy the URL encoding to urlencode, parse_qs and
  parse_qsl.  Currently you can only decode/encode utf-8 data with
  these functions.
