POPython requests urlencode not working?

Body
copied!<p>EDIT: I figured out the problem. The # in #user_sex is not being converting to %23 by python requests. Is there a way to force python requests to convert # to %23 or will I just have to hand code that part?</p> <p>I'm trying to make a facebook fql multiquery. When I use the fql_url below</p> <pre><code>fql_url = ( 'https://graph.facebook.com/fql?q=' '{"user_sex":"SELECT sex FROM user WHERE uid=me()",' '"friends":"SELECT uid, name FROM user WHERE uid IN ' '(SELECT uid2 FROM friend WHERE uid1 = me()) ' 'AND not (sex in (SELECT sex FROM #user_sex)) ' ' ORDER BY name"}' '&access_token='+access_token ) </code></pre> <p>and run requests.get(fql_url), the json returned is</p> <pre><code>{u'error': { u'code': 601, u'message': u"(#601) Parser error: unexpected '{' at position 0.", u'type': u'OAuthException'} } </code></pre> <p>However when I hand code the fql_url as this</p> <pre><code>fql_url = ( 'https://graph.facebook.com/fql?q=%7B%22' 'user_sex%22:%22SELECT%20sex%20FROM%20user%20WHERE%20uid=me()%22,%22' 'friends%22:%22SELECT%20uid,%20name%20FROM%20user%20WHERE%20uid%20IN%20' '(SELECT%20uid2%20FROM%20friend%20WHERE%20uid1%20=%20me())%20' 'AND%20not%20(sex%20in%20(select%20sex%20from%20%23user_sex))%20%20' 'ORDER%20BY%20name%22%7D&' 'access_token='+access_token ) </code></pre> <p>everything works (the json has the desired data).</p> <p>I've compared both the first fql_url and the hand coded fql_url and both should result in the same url being used to get the json. Is the requests urlencode not working or am I doing something wrong here?</p>
