Works for me. The other thing I always use from cgi is escape() -- will that be available somewhere else too?

xml.sax.saxutils.escape() would be an appropriate replacement, though the location is a little funky. More than a little IMO. :-( Well, if that function is better than who cares about the location; it will end up in urllib.parse as some function.

It's a trivial function; it shouldn't pull in three packages and lots of other cruft.
