Hi,

I'm a Swedish developer working on my seventh django site. Since Swedish is a language with three extra characters in the alphabet (å, ä, ö) we're quite happy that International Domain Names (IDN) are starting to gain traction. Unfortunately, Django's URLField and EmailField does not support these.

Luckily, there's a patch available at:
http://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/9764

It patches both EmailField and URLField, and is complete with tests. Docs are (imho) not needed, since I think people expect an URLField to handle all URLs that a web browser can handle.

The patch is small (~30 lines of code) and solves a common annoyance for people in countries with non-ascii characters in their alphabet.

I've never contributed to Django before, but if you find any issues, I'm willing to help to fix them.

Thanks for your hard work!
