I think you are wrong about list().  Since map() returns a list already

Yes, it works.

I can't imagine what else you could do to turn a list into a tuple that
would be less hackish than simply making it a tuple.

Isn't map() deprecated?  The above can be done with;

    "%s=%s&%s=%s" % tuple([urllib.quote(x) for x in params])
