Thanks for the comments, Fred. I understand, that having the signatures of
parse_qs and parse_qsl are sufficient in the urlparse module and invoking the
same from cgi module will be correct.

The urlparse will cotain parse_qs and parse_qsl takes the query string (not
url) and with optional arguments keep_blank_values and strict_parsing (same as cgi).

This is where, I spent a little bit time and I am unable to comeout
conclusively as how it can be done.

Someone in the list, please help me.

* parse_qs or parse_qsl will be invoked on the query component separately by
the user.
* If parsed query needs to be available at the instance as a convenience
function, then we will have to assume the keep_blank_values and strict_parsing
values.
* Coding question: Without retyping the bunch of code again in the BaseResult,
would is the possible to call parse_qs/parse_qsl function on self.query and
provide the result? Basically, what would be a good of doing it.


Thanks,
Senthil
