The following snippet results in different outcome for (at least) the last three major releases:
>>> import urllib >>> urllib.unquote(u'%94') # Python 2.3.4 u'%94' # Python 2.4.2 UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0x94 in position 0: ordinal not in range(128) # Python 2.5 u'\x94' Is the current version the "right" one or is this function supposed to change every other week ?
