New submission from Tyler Starke :
It seems bad practice for urllib methods to demand a str instance and they
should demand a unicode instance. By demanding a str instance the default
behavior is too demanding, for the web space it is being used, for the English
language. We would want Python
Tyler Starke added the comment:
well that was closed fast. I noticed in the docs that Python 3 demands a str
type also.

Nevermind. I had to download the source to see that it encodes to 'utf-8', or a
passed encoding method, in the methods that are causing problems in 2.6.5.
