Irregular characters in password failure

[John Sater]

I have a password that uses irregular characters. Specifically I have a '%' in mine.

Here's the error I get:

$ bitbucket list
Traceback (most recent call last):

Perhaps I am not familiar enough with python, but I though copying-and-pasting my password would've worked. Perhaps I'm wrong. I wonder if adding an extra '%' might've worked...either way, that's not exactly the best user experience in the world. This may really a bug as much as it is complaint against python 2.7.
