Description

Using filenames (or anything that urlquote is passed) on Python 2 cause an exception:

  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/urllib.py", line 1268, in quote
    return ''.join(map(quoter, s))
KeyError: u'\xe9'

There is a compatibility module libcloud.utils.py3 which is supposed to handle compatibility issues between the two Python versions.

I've written a test case for this error and a patch. It appears to function correctly on Python 2.6, 2.7 and 3.3.
