Bill Janssen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> added the comment: Erik van der Poel at Google has now chimed in with stats on current URL usage:
``...the bottom line is that escaped non-utf-8 is still quite prevalent, enough (in my opinion) to require an implementation in Python, possibly even allowing for different encodings in the path and query parts (e.g. utf-8 path and gb2312 query).'' http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-international/2008JulSep/0042.html I think it's worth remembering that a very large proportion of the use of Python's urllib.unquote() is in implementations of Web server frameworks of one sort or another. We can't control what the browsers that talk to such frameworks produce; the IETF doesn't control that, either. In this case, "practicality beats purity" is the clarion call of the browser designers, and we'd better be able to support them. _______________________________________ Python tracker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <http://bugs.python.org/issue3300> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
