How to convert text into URL syntax on Python?

Question

I want to convert Python string to URL syntax.

For example

>>> u'한글'.encode('utf-8')
'\xed\x95\x9c\xea\xb8\x80' to '%ed%95%9c%ea%b8%80'

This depends on the terminal or source file being UTF-8, of course. The ‘safe’ spelling would be urllib.quote(u'\ud55c\uae00'.encode('utf-8')).
