Right, so chucking that at Amazon and you can see that it translates all those accented characters, so for instance é becomes "%E9".

I also am not a Python person (just figured enough out to get by), nor am I an expert on encoding URLs. I'll have a google later if I find the time unless some guru on either of the above can pick up and suggest a "generic" way to correctly convert such text to the encoded version. There is possibly some function or simple algorithm for doing it but I have no clue without further investigation.
