How to urlencode a querystring in Python?

Question

I am trying to urlencode this string before I submit.

queryString = 'eventName=' + evt.fields["eventName"] + '&' + 'eventDescription=' + evt.fields["eventDescription"]; 

Answer 1

Just create a dictionary with your parameters to be encoded in the urlencode function of urrlib module. e.g:

For python 2: 

import urllib

d = {'a': 'b', 'c': 'd'};

urllib.urlencode(d)

For Python 3

import urllib

d = {'a': 'b', 'c': 'd'};

urllib.parse.urlencode(d)
