Description: Urlquote
        ========
        
        Fast percent encoding / decoding for python.
        
        **This library is not intended to be a replacement for urllib**. `urllib` is part of the python
        standard library and should be your goto choice to quote and unquote URLs. However, should quoting
        / unquoting URLs be known to be a performance bottleneck and you are fine with the encoding
        described below, then by all means have fun using this library.
        
        Usage
        -----
        
        ```python
        from urlquote import quote
        
        quoted = quote('/El Niño/')
        assert(quoted == '/El%20Ni%C3%B1o/'.encode('utf-8'))
        ```
        
        Compatibility
        -------------
        
        Since this library uses a `cffi` interface it should work fine with any python version. For linux
        the wheel has to be build against a libc with a version older or equal to the version of libc on the
        platform the wheel will be executed on.
        
        Installation
        ------------
        
        ```bash
        pip install urlquote
        ```
        
        `quote` operates utf-8 encoded bytes. If passed a string, it will enocde it into utf-8 first. It
        will always return `utf-8` encoded bytes. `unquote` behaves the same way.
        
        Encoding
        --------
        
        All ASCII characters less than hexidecimal 20 and greater than 7E are encoded. This includes special
        charcters such as line feed, carriage return, NULL, etc. . Aside from these, space, double quote (")
        , hash (#), inequality qualifiers (<), (>), backtick (`), question mark (?), and curly brackets ({),
        (}) are also encoded.
        
        Development
        -----------
        
        This library is a thin wrapper around the
        [`percent-encoding`](https://crates.io/crates/percent-encoding) rust crate. It exposes part of its
        functionality to python via a C-Interface using
        [`milksnake`](https://github.com/getsentry/milksnake).
