I think this is as close as consensus as we can get on this issue. Can whoever wrote the patch adjust the patch to this outcome? (I think the only change is to remove the encoding arguments and make separate functions for bytes.)

This is 2.7/3.1 only, right? I'm looking at the bales of code I've got that says something like,

v = urlib.quote_plus(x.encode("UTF-8", "strict"))

then later on

x = unicode(urllib.unquote_plus(v), "UTF-8", "strict")
