It seems bad practice for urllib methods to demand a str instance and they should demand a unicode instance. By demanding a str instance the default behavior is too demanding, for the web space it is being used, for the English language. We would want Python to extend beyond English when it uses urllib

Currently I am encoding the unicode passed with 'utf-8' and that works.
