URL Encode A String In Python

This code encodes (aka quotes) a string for use in a url query string path:

Code

import urllib.parse

string = "The quick brown fox"
url_string = urllib.parse.quote(string)

print(url_string)

Results

The%20quick%20brown%20fox

There is also this one which uses `+` for spaces instead of `%20`:

Code

import urllib.parse

string = "The quick brown fox"
url_string = urllib.parse.quote_plus(string)

print(url_string)

Results

The+quick+brown+fox
