Function	_minimalPercentEncode	Percent-encode only the characters that are syntactically necessary for serialization, preserving any IRI-style textual data.
Function	_maximalPercentEncode	Percent-encode everything required to convert a portion of an IRI to a portion of a URI.
Function	_percentDecode	Replace percent-encoded characters with their UTF-8 equivalents.
Function	_resolveDotSegments	Normalise the URL path by resolving segments of '.' and '..'.
Function	_optional	If the given value is `_unspecified`, return `default`; otherwise return `argument`.
Function	_typecheck	Check that the given `value` is of the given `type`, or raise an exception describing the problem using `name`.

def _minimalPercentEncode(text, safe): (source)

Percent-encode only the characters that are syntactically necessary for serialization, preserving any IRI-style textual data.

Parameters	text	the text to escaped (type: `unicode`)
	safe	characters safe to include in the return value (type: `unicode`)
Returns	the encoded version of `text` (type: `unicode`)

def _maximalPercentEncode(text, safe): (source)

Percent-encode everything required to convert a portion of an IRI to a portion of a URI.

Parameters	text	the text to encode. (type: `unicode`)
	safe	a string of safe characters. (type: `unicode`)
Returns	the encoded version of `text` (type: `unicode`)

def _percentDecode(text): (source)

Replace percent-encoded characters with their UTF-8 equivalents.

Parameters	text	The text with percent-encoded UTF-8 in it. (type: `unicode`)
Returns	the encoded version of `text` (type: `unicode`)

def _resolveDotSegments(path): (source)

Normalise the URL path by resolving segments of '.' and '..'.

Parameters	path	list of path segments
Returns	a new `list` of path segments with the '.' and '..' elements removed and resolved.
See Also	RFC 3986 section 5.2.4, Remove Dot Segments

def _optional(argument, default): (source)

If the given value is _unspecified, return default; otherwise return argument.

Parameters	argument	The argument passed.
	default	The default to use if `argument` is `_unspecified`.
Returns	`argument` or `default`

def _typecheck(name, value, *types): (source)

Check that the given value is of the given type, or raise an exception describing the problem using name.

Parameters	name	a name to use to describe the type mismatch in the error if one occurs (type: native `str`)
	value	the value to check (type: `object`)
	types	the expected types of `value` (type: `tuple` of `type`)
Returns	`value` if the type check succeeds
Raises	TypeError	if there is a type mismatch between `value` and `type`
