I'm obviously missing some context here, but "encoding ± to %B1 on any platform" is exactly what urlencode does: >>> import urllib >>> urllib.urlencode([("key", chr(0xb1))]) 'key=%B1' (however, if you pass in unicode values with non-ascii characters, url- encode will give you an error). are you sure the conversion to UTF-8 isn't happening *before* you pass your data to urlencode ? what does print "1", repr(data) print "2", repr(urllib.urlencode(data)) print for the kind of data you're encoding ? </F>
