Expanding keyspace is generally a good idea; however, the 
significance of meta-characters is bound to bite someone in 
the behind with a hard to find error. So, please 
reconsider single-quote, double-quote, backslash, 
greaterthan, lessthan, and pipe.
Looking at first part of the patch, consider:
- removing the TODO on line 31
- wrapping the character list in triple-quotes on line 32
- using the r'' form on line 32 to eliminate backslashes in 
the character list
Looking at the second part of the patch, I don't follow (am 
perhaps being daft) why expanding the keyspace necessitates 
changing the login logic.
The idea of allowing non-ASCII characters would be cool if 
the world had already universally accepted Latin-1 coding. 
That conflict is the reason that site.py defaults to ASCII 
encoding instead of handling non-US codings out of the box.
