Python urlencode with double quotes

Question

I have a dict like this:

d = {'orderBy': 'XXXXX'}

When I call urlencode (), it transforms into:

orderBy = XXXXX

But I needed it to look like this:

orderBy = "XXXXX"

Does anyone know how I add these two quotes using urllib? Thank you!

Answer 1

Just set your dict with the doble quotes:

>>> d = { 'orderBy': '"XXXXX"' }
>>> urlencode(d)
'orderBy="XXXXX"'
