How to urlencode a querystring in Python?

I am trying to urlencode this string before I submit.

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


        

Answer 1

for future references (ex: for python3)

>>> import urllib.request as req
>>> query = 'eventName=theEvent&eventDescription=testDesc'
>>> req.pathname2url(query)
>>> 'eventName%3DtheEvent%26eventDescription%3DtestDesc'
