You are using Jinja-like params but you are not populating any template, instead you are formatting a string with python:

self.response.out.write("""
          <form action="/sign?%s" enctype="multipart/form-data" method="post">
            <div><textarea name="content" rows="3" cols="60"></textarea></div>
            <div><label>Avatar:</label></div>
            <div><input type="file" name="img"/></div>
            <div><input type="submit" value="Sign Guestbook"></div>
          </form>
          <hr>
          <form>Guestbook name: <input value="%s" name="guestbook_name">
          <input type="submit" value="switch"></form>
        </body>
      </html>""" % (urllib.urlencode({'guestbook_name': guestbook_name}),
                    cgi.escape(guestbook_name)))

Note that you say urrlib.urlenconde({'guestbook_name': guestbook_name}) where python is just needing a string: guestbook_name . Also, given that you are using the same value for all placeholders you can use instead

"...<input value="%(guestbook)s" name..." % {'guestbook': cgi.escape(guestbook_name)})

or

"...<input value="{0}" name... ...</html>".format(cgi.escape(guestbook_name))

Hope it helps.
