Good eye!  I didn't notice that 'lr' didn't have a value in the
dictionary.

Thankfully, we can still take advantage cgi.quote_qs() because it can take
in an optional parameter to keep even the empty parameters:

###
>>> cgi.parse_qs(query_string, keep_blank_values = 1)
{'hl': ['en'], 'ie': ['UTF-8'], 'oe': ['utf-8'], 'lr': [''],
 'q': ['south africa travel cape town']}
###


Hope this helps!
