Is there an equivalent to urllib.urlencode for Python scripts?

I tried to import urllib and then use the above, but no luck. Am I missing something obvious?

certain formatting like url_quote, html_quote, etc can be imported off the top of my head, try: from Products.PythonScript.standard import url_quote if it doesnt work, check spelling, probably Products.PythonScripts.standards ..

Thanks Etienne
