Indeed. Good idea, Marc!
This is a bit unfriendly though:
>>> "bobbins".encode("gzip")
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
File "/usr/local/src/python/dist/build/Lib/encodings/__init__.py", line 59, in search_function
raise SystemError,\
SystemError: module "encodings.gzip" failed to register
I thought SystemErrors shouldn't ever happen (isn't it what gets
raised for an illegal opcode, for example?).

urlencode would be nice. Maybe re.escape, too. html entities?
That's probably a bigger can of worms, but
print "<p>%s</p>"%text.encode("html")
seems delightfully simpleminded.
