Parsing A URL With Python URLParse Parse_qs

Question

This was working with python 2.7 but wont work in 3.5

I am trying to split a url's params then change out one of the params with a new value that is an md5 hash.

The urlbreaks down like this,

ParseResult(scheme='http', netloc='example.com', path='/dynamic', params='', query='t=MD5-YOUR-OAUTH-TOKEN&p=11111111', fragment='')

The new url should look like this,

newString = 'http://example.com/dynamic?t='+tokenHashed+'&p=11112311312'

import requests, json, hashlib
import urllib
from urllib.parse import urlparse
from xml.etree import ElementTree

        product_url = item.find('product_url').text
        parsed = urlparse(product_url)
        qs = urlparse.parse.parse_qs(parsed.query)
        qs['t'] = [tokenHashed]
        newqs = urllib.urlencode(qs, doseq=1)
        newurl = urlparse.urlunparse([newqs if i == 4 else x for i,x in enumerate(parsed)])



 print(newurl)

I get this error,

'function' object has no attribute 'parse'

Is this a problem with my python version?

Answer 1

Use from urlparse import urlparse . Or if you want to save compatibility with python 2:

try:
    from urllib.parse import urlparse
except ImportError:
    from urlparse import urlparse

UPDATE: I was inattentive. Try to change qs = urlparse.parse.parse_qs(parsed.query) on qs = urllib.parse.parse_qs(parsed.query) .

Answer 2

Had the same problem this worked for me:

from urllib.parse import urlparse
from urllib.parse import parse_qs

product_url = item.find('product_url').text
parsed = urlparse(product_url)
qs = parse_qs(parsed.query)
