[New-bugs-announce] [issue15593] urlparse.parse_qs documentation wrong re: urlencode

[Rob Kinyon]

New submission from Rob Kinyon:

This may appear to be a duplicate of http://bugs.python.org/issue12390 and http://bugs.python.org/issue833405, but it's not.

The documentation of urlparse.parse_qs() should state that in order for urllib.urlencode to properly reverse its output, the doseq parameter must be set to True. Please amend the documentation to make this very clear.

Ideally, the documentation of urlencode() would also make it clear that doseq=True is required if the output is from parse_qs().
