[New-bugs-announce] [issue20116] urlparse.parse_qs should take argument for query separator

[Ruben D. Orduz]

New submission from Ruben D. Orduz:

Currently urlparse.parse_qs (http://hg.python.org/cpython/file/2.7/Lib/urlparse.py#l150) assumes and uses ';' as a query string separator with no way to overwrite that. There are several web service APIs out there that use ';' as list separator (e.g. [URL]?fruits=lemon;lime&family=citrus). Although ';' seems like a sensible choice for a default, there should be a way to overwrite it.
