I have some working url with unicode and trying to apply IDNA encoding
test = ur"http://example.com/%D0%94%D0%B8%D1%81%D0%BA%D0%BE%D0%BD%D1%82-%D1%82%D0%B0%D0%BA%D1%81%D0%B8.22219/"
url_unq = urllib.unquote(test)
print url_unq
print url_unq.encode("idna")
The code above fails with:
File “C:\Python25\lib\encodings\idna.py”, line 38, in nameprep
