Category: None Group: None Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Submitted By: Myers Carpenter (myers_carpenter) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: urllib.urlencode doesn't work for output from cgi.parse_qs

Initial Comment:

urllib.urlencode(cgi.parse_qsl('ext=.jpg&outquality=56')) 'ext=.jpg&outquality=56'

urllib.urlencode(cgi.parse_qs('ext=.jpg&outquality=56')) 'ext=%5B%27.jpg%27%5D&outquality=%5B%2756%27%5D'

"%5B%27" = "['"

Can you name one web app that you know will take args in the form of "ext=[27.jpg]"? Why not do some type inspection to see what types you are dealing with? What is the use of encoding a list in a url using python syntax?

As per the urlencode() API documentation, you are passing in sequences, so you need to set the doseq flag.

('ext=.jpg&outquality=56'),doseq=1) 'ext=.jpg&outquality=56'

I recommend that this bug report be closed as Invalid.
