New submission from Matteo Parrucci:

RFC 3986 (http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc3986.txt) says:

For consistency, percent-encoded octets in the ranges of ALPHA
(%41-%5A and %61-%7A), DIGIT (%30-%39), hyphen (%2D), period (%2E),
underscore (%5F), or tilde (%7E) should not be created by URI
producers and, when found in a URI, should be decoded to their
corresponding unreserved characters by URI normalizers.

>From python documentation talking about urllib.quote()

Example: quote('/~connolly/') yields '/%7econnolly/'.

I think ~ should be added to the safe characters of quote function
