utf-8 passwords in url don't work

Summary:

curl -s --url http://user1:enganação@127.0.0.1:8080 --data '{"method": "help"}' works

#!/usr/bin/env python2
import requests
import json
payload = {'method': 'help'}
url = 'http://user1:enganação@127.0.0.1:8080'
requests.post(url, headers={'Content-type': 'text/plain; charset=utf-8'}, data=json.dumps(payload))

also works.

But… use #!/usr/bin/env python3 instead, and it doesn’t work anymore. requests messes things up.

Expected Result

Work as curl and requests in python2 do.

Actual Result

requests in python3 messes with encoding.

Reproduction Steps

import requests
import json
payload = {'method': 'help'}
url = 'http://user1:enganação@127.0.0.1:8080'
requests.post(url, headers={'Content-type': 'text/plain; charset=utf-8'}, data=json.dumps(payload))

System Information

Python 3.5.2

I was asking to work on fixing it. Nevermind, you have closed it.
