python3 requests use quote instead of quote_plus

Question

I use Python 3 and the requests module/library for querying a REST service.

It seems that requests by default uses urllib.parse.quote_plus() for urlencodin

Answer 1

It turns out you can!

from requests.utils import requote_uri
url = "https://www.somerandom.com/?name=Something Cool"
requote_uri(url)

'https://www.somerandom.com/?name=Something%20Cool'

documentation here The requote_uri method is about halfway down the page.
