No, it doesn't. It gets its quote() function from urllib always.

The only thing I can think that you are talking about is the difference between 
Python 2 and Python 3. In Python 2, it's urllib.quote() and in Python 3, it's 
urllib.parse.quote(), but that's a Python-version issue, not something to do 
with requests, per se. requests does have a compatibility layer, internally, 
that pastes over those issues, but I don't think that is intended to be a stable 
public API that you should rely on. You should handle that kind of switch 
yourself if you care about compatibility across both versions of Python.
