How to urlencode a querystring in Python?

I am trying to urlencode this string before I submit. queryString = 'eventName=' + evt.fields["eventName"] + '&' + 'eventDescription=' + evt.fields["eventDescription"];
Python 3 Use urllib.parse.urlencode: >>> import urllib.parse >>> f = { 'eventName' : 'myEvent', 'eventDescription' : 'cool event'} >>> urllib.parse.urlencode(f) eventName=myEvent&eventDescription=cool+event Note that this does not do url encoding in the commonly used sense (look at the output). For that use urllib.parse.quote_plus. Python 2 You need to pass your parameters into urllib.urlencode() as either a mapping (dict), or a sequence of 2-tuples, like: >>> import urllib >>> f = { 'eventName' : 'myEvent', 'eventDescription' : 'cool event'} >>> urllib.urlencode(f) 'eventName=myEvent&eventDescription=cool+event'
