I noticed that urllib.urlencode does THE RIGHT THING (i.e. it uses
%xx) if you .encode('utf-8') the parameters first. I'm writing a ton
of code that looks like h.url_for(q=stuff.encode('utf-8)), hence I'm
wondering if h.url_for can do the encoding for me. Basically
h.url_for should encode Unicode objects before calling
urllib.urlencode.
I thought one of the patches I applied to the latest Routes will
automatically utf-8 encode query args? Have you tried just dropping
in a utf-8 unicode string for the param?
"Dropping in a utf-8 unicode string" Hmm.
It's either a UTF-8 encoded str or a unicode object ;) If I pass it a
UTF-8 encoded str, things work, but that means I have to do the
encoding myself. I was wondering if the call to .encode should go in
url_for or in urlencode.
