Best way to parse a URL query string

by

Here is an example using python3 urllib.parse:

from urllib.parse import urlparse, parse_qs
URL='https://someurl.com/with/query_string?i=main&mode=front&sid=12ab&enc=+Hello'
parsed_url = urlparse(URL)
parse_qs(parsed_url.query)

output:

{'i': ['main'], 'enc': [' Hello '], 'mode': ['front'], 'sid': ['12ab']}

Note for python2: from urlparse import urlparse, parse_qs
