urllib.parse.quote_plus()

percent-encoding

Percent-encoding for HTML form values and query strings: a space becomes '+', and '/' is encoded as well.

Syntax

urllib.parse.quote_plus(string, safe='', encoding=None, errors=None)

There are two differences from quote(): a space becomes '+' instead of %20, and the default is safe='', so '/' turns into %2F. A literal '+' is encoded as %2B, otherwise it would read as a space. Do not use quote_plus() for a URL path: there '+' is a literal plus, not a space. Decode with unquote_plus(), not unquote().

Examples

from urllib.parse import quote, quote_plus
print(quote_plus('a b/c&d'))  # → a+b%2Fc%26d
print(quote('a b/c&d'))  # → a%20b/c%26d
print(quote_plus('1+1'))  # → 1%2B1
