Subject: sectionencode incorrectly encoding
Original description:
>>> wikipedia.sectionencode\(':/', 'utf-8'\)
'.3A/'
Which is incorrect as it is ":.2F"

The correct code for sectionencode\(\) should be:
return urllib.quote\(text.replace\(" ","\_"\).encode\(encoding\), safe=':'\).replace\("%","."\)

Also, it would be nice if encoding defaulted here to 'utf-8'
