2.1.7.1.8. url.urlencode

url.urlencode(query, doseq=0)

Modified version of the standard urllib.urlencode that is conforms to RFC3986. The urllib version encodes spaces as ‘+’ which can lead to inconsistency. This version will always encode spaces as ‘%20’.

TODO: verify the unicode encoding process - looks a bit suspect.

Encode a sequence of two-element tuples or dictionary into a URL query string.

If any values in the query arg are sequences and doseq is true, each sequence element is converted to a separate parameter.

If the query arg is a sequence of two-element tuples, the order of the parameters in the output will match the order of parameters in the input.
