----------------------------------------+------------------------
The function django.utils.http.urlencode has been changed to give
unexpected result for tuple values (and other iterable objects) in the
case when no iterations is expected:
{{{
>>> django.utils.http.urlencode(dict(a=('a','b')), doseq=False)
'a=%5B%27a%27%2C+%27b%27%5D'
}}}
One would expect the same as the standard library version (Note the first
and last characters has been replaced by square brackets):
{{{
>>> urllib.parse.urlencode(dict(a=('a', 'b')), doseq=False)
'a=%28%27a%27%2C+%27b%27%29'
}}}
If the value is a list, the result if what one would expect:
{{{
>>> django.utils.http.urlencode(dict(a=['a','b']), doseq=False)
'a=%5B%27a%27%2C+%27b%27%5D'
>>> urllib.parse.urlencode(dict(a=['a', 'b']), doseq=False)
'a=%5B%27a%27%2C+%27b%27%5D'
}}}
Note: This is a problem when one has objects that has a `__str__` method
defined, returning the value one would want to be in the urlencode result,
but the object by coincidence is also iterable.
