New submission from Joesph <someone...@gmail.com>:
"""
Per the documentation urlencode is supposed to encode a structure returned by
parse_qs back to a query string. However, urlencode appears to not be
processing the lists associated with each key.
Example:
"""
import urllib.parse
dictQuery = urllib.parse.parse_qs('a=b&b=c&c=d&c=e',
strict_parsing=True,
encoding='iso8859-1')
assert isinstance(dictQuery,dict)
assert isinstance(dictQuery['a'],list)
strQuery = urllib.parse.urlencode(dictQuery, encoding='iso8859-1')
print(strQuery)
"""
Outputs: a=%5B%27b%27%5D&c=%5B%27d%27%2C+%27e%27%5D&b=%5B%27c%27%5D
Which means: a=['b']&c=['d', 'e']&b=['c']
Expected: a=b&c=d&c=e&b=c
