What you're doing is adding to the reasons why the existing cgi.escape function is stupidly designed and implemented. The True case is by far the most common, so to make that the slow case, as well as being the non-default case, is doubly brain-dead. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
