Url encoding and decoding in python
Raw
url-encoding-and-decoding-python.md

python 2.7

Use urlencode from urllib for encoding and parse_qs from urlparse for decoding. urlencode takes a dict while parse_qs takes a string. I learned from this awesome link.

python 3.6

Use urlencode from urllib.parse for encoding and parse_qs from urllib.parse for decoding. urlencode takes a dict while parse_qs takes a string.

compatibility in both python 2.7 and 3.6 com

Install future package version 0.16.0. Import urlencode and parse_qs from future.moves.urllib.parse.
