Is there a parse_str (used in php) alternative for python?

urlparse.parse_qs: http://docs.python.org/library/urlparse.html#urlparse.parse_qs

If you are using a Python older than 2.6, the previous location of this function was in the cgi module: http://docs.python.org/library/cgi.html#cgi.parse_qs

The problem is ... >>> import urlparse >>> dir(urlparse) ['BaseResult', 'MAX_CACHE_SIZE', 'ParseResult', 'SplitResult', 'all', 'builtins', 'doc', 'file', 'name', '_parse_cache', '_splitnetloc', '_splitparams', 'clear_cache', 'non_hierarchical', 'scheme_chars', 'test', 'test_input', 'urldefrag', 'urljoin', 'urlparse', 'urlsplit', 'urlunparse', 'urlunsplit', 'uses_fragment', 'uses_netloc', 'uses_params', 'uses_query', 'uses_relative']

@vkris: So what? That's everything that's in the module urlparse, but Adam already told you which one you need.

@vkris: What's you Python version? Docs say parse_qs was added in 2.6 (which is quite old).

Have you tried it instead of just checking module definition crap?

If you are using Python<2.6

parse_qs is in the cgi module

It's still there in 2.7 for backward compatibility
