URL query parameters to dict python
parsing, python, query-string, url
Solution
Use the `urllib.parse` library:
>>> from urllib import parse
>>> url = "http://www.example.org/default.html?ct=32&op=92&item=98"
>>> parse.urlsplit(url)
SplitResult(scheme='http', netloc='www.example.org', path='/default.html', query='ct=32&op=92&item=98', fragment='')
>>> parse.parse_qs(parse.urlsplit(url).query)
{'item': ['98'], 'op': ['92'], 'ct': ['32']}
>>> dict(parse.parse_qsl(parse.urlsplit(url).query))
{'item': '98', 'op': '92', 'ct': '32'}
The `urllib.parse.parse_qs()` and `urllib.parse.parse_qsl()` methods parse out query strings, taking into account that keys can occur more than once and that order may matter.
If you are still on Python 2, `urllib.parse` was called `urlparse`.
Problem
Is there a way to parse a URL (with some python library) and return a python dictionary with the keys and values of a query parameters part of the URL? For example: ``` url = "http://www.example.org/default.html?ct=32&op=92&item=98" ``` expected return: ``` {'ct':32, 'op':92, 'item':98} ```
