1) not sure abot GAE, but you can always make a poor man's
urllib.quote with some ord() magic.
2) IIRC per RFC the encoded characters are equivalent with their non-
encoded counterparts (as long as they contain legal URI characters),
so some#thing is equal to some%27thing (and both IE and FFox will
display it non-encoded). But, again, if one is adamant about keeping
the non-encoded form, it's just one extra line with self.attributes
['_src'].partition('#').
