Martin Panter added the comment: 1. urlencode(): I agree the documentation is unclear. But David Rueter’s suggestion does not help much. I think doseq=True is meant to also work for a mapping query (as in original post), and is not required in the sequence-of-tuples mode if each tuple has a single parameter value. Perhaps something like this could work instead:
“When a sequence of two-element tuples is used as *query*, the first element of each tuple is a key and the second specifies one or more values. If *doseq* is true, each *query* (mapping or sequence) item can specify a sequence of values; if *doseq* is false (the default), each item specifies a single value. The order of parameters in the encoded string will match the order of items in *query* and the order of values in an item.” 2. urlopen(data=...) and Request(data=...): I don’t see the contradiction. It looks like David Rueter’s suggestion only changes the first sentence, to say doseq=True is required to get the urlencoded format, but this is not required. See also Issue 23360 about my own problems with this bit of the documentation. 3. Examples: Again, I do not see why doseq=True should be shown when it is simpler without. But an example of when it is useful would be good, as R David Murray suggested. ---------- nosy: +vadmium _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue24460> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
