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.fie         


        

Answer 1

Another thing that might not have been mentioned already is that urllib.urlencode() will encode empty values in the dictionary as the string None instead of having that parameter as absent. I don't know if this is typically desired or not, but does not fit my use case, hence I have to use quote_plus.
