Django: Can I create a QueryDict from a dictionary?
django, python
Solution
How about?
from django.http import QueryDict
ordinary_dict = {'a': 'one', 'b': 'two', }
query_dict = QueryDict('', mutable=True)
query_dict.update(ordinary_dict)
Problem
Imagine that I have a dictionary in my Django application: ``` dict = {'a': 'one', 'b': 'two', } ``` Now I want to easily create an urlencoded list of GET parameters from this dictionary. Of course I could loop through the dictionary, urlencode keys and values and then concatenate the string by myself, but there must be an easier way. I would like to use a QueryDict instance. QueryDict is a subclass of dict, so it should be possible somehow. ``` qdict = QueryDict(dict) # this does not actually work print qdict.urlencode() ``` How would I make the second to last line work?
