How do I perform URL encoding in Python?

You can use the urllib.parse module in Python. Specifically, the quote function is used for URL encoding.

Can you show me an example of how to use the quote function?

Sure! Here's a simple example:

import urllib.parse

url = 'https://example.com/?query=hello world'
encoded_url = urllib.parse.quote(url)
print(encoded_url)

This will encode spaces as %20.

What if I want to encode only a specific part of the URL?

You can encode just the query parameters or any specific part. For example:

query = 'hello world'
encoded_query = urllib.parse.quote(query)
print(encoded_query)

This will output hello%20world.
