Python: Importing urllib.quote

Question

I would like to use urllib.quote(). But python (python3) is not finding the module. Suppose, I have this line of code:

print(urllib.quote(\"châteu\"         


        

Answer 1

If you need to handle both Python 2.x and 3.x you can catch the exception and load the alternative.

try:
    from urllib import quote  # Python 2.X
except ImportError:
    from urllib.parse import quote  # Python 3+

You could also use the python compatibility wrapper six to handle this.

from six.moves.urllib.parse import quote
