I have tried to follow the documentation but was not able to use urlparse.parse.quote_plus() in Python 3:
from urllib.parse import urlparse
params = urlparse.parse.quote_plus({'username': 'administrator', 'password': 'xyz'})
I get
AttributeError: 'function' object has no attribute 'parse'
You misread the documentation. You need to do two things:
Luckily urllib.parse.urlencode does both those things in a single step, and that's the function you should be using.
from urllib.parse import urlencode, quote_plus
payload = {'username':'administrator', 'password':'xyz'}
result = urlencode(payload, quote_via=quote_plus)
# 'password=xyz&username=administrator'
urlencode(). So one must have key:value pairs, which IMHO is too restrictive. For instance, I have a need to URL encode only a part of string - password in proto://user:[email protected] cmd line to run duplicity backup. Python2 does work as intended though: python2 -c "import urllib as ul; print ul.quote_plus('$KEY');" -> where $KEY is supplied from bash script.
quote_plus is available in Python 3 the same way. python3 -c "import urllib.parse as ul; print(ul.quote_plus('$KEY'))"For Python 3 you could try using quote instead of quote_plus:
import urllib.parse
print(urllib.parse.quote("http://www.sample.com/", safe=""))
Result:
http%3A%2F%2Fwww.sample.com%2F
Or:
from requests.utils import requote_uri
requote_uri("http://www.sample.com/?id=123 abc")
Result:
'https://www.sample.com/?id=123%20abc'
from requests.utils import requote_uri worked on Python 3.6
print(urllib.parse.quote("http://www.sample.com/")) prints http%3A//www.sample.com/
/) as well, you have to pass safe="" as second parameter to the quote function. Like so: urllib.parse.quote("http://www.sample.com/", safe="")You’re looking for urllib.parse.urlencode
import urllib.parse
params = {'username': 'administrator', 'password': 'xyz'}
encoded = urllib.parse.urlencode(params)
# Returns: 'username=administrator&password=xyz'
