the a-umlaut <=> &#228; and other translations are in htmlentitydefs,
like Dennis said.

cgi.escape will give you &lt; &amp; &quote; etc, xml.sax.saxutils has
parallel functions
http://docs.python.org/lib/module-xml.sax.saxutils.html

of the RFC 1738 encodings you need to do for chars in URLs, i believe
"~" is the only one you commonly have to worry about so rewrite as
"%7E" manually...
