Originally from: http://sourceforge.net/p/pywikipediabot/bugs/1147/ Reported by: Anonymous user Created on: 2010-03-16 22:21:02 Subject: sectionencode incorrectly encoding Original description: >>> wikipedia.sectionencode(':/', 'utf-8') '.3A/' Which is incorrect as it is ":.2F"

The correct code for sectionencode() should be: return urllib.quote(text.replace(" ","_").encode(encoding), safe=':').replace("%",".")

Also, it would be nice if encoding defaulted here to 'utf-8'
