Query params for nested objects with python requests module like QS.stringify

Question

When creating a Strapi client in Python using the requests module I came across a problem.

When using the params argument for the requests.get method with a nested dictionary it doesn't translate to a querystring like the npm package qs does.

I wanted a qs.stringify in python but found the answer nowhere on Stack Overflow.

I found this package: https://github.com/cine-io/nested-query-string

   def _get(self, path, params=None, **kwargs):
        url = self.__construct_url(path)
        headers = self.__get_request_headers()

        if params is not None:
            #see line here!!
            from nested_query_string import NestedQueryString
            params = NestedQueryString.encode(params)
            
        response = requests.get(url, params=params, headers=headers, **kwargs)
        assert response.status_code == 200
        return self.__parse_strapi_response(response)
