I’d like to get field values corresponding to an arbitrary URL.
I.e. given “http://example.com/hello?q=1&b=1”
I want a dictionary {‘q’:1, ‘b’:1}. How do I use cgi.FieldStorage for that?

Thanks!

    You can use urlparse to do that

    from urlparse import urlparse, parse_qs
qs = urlparse("http://example.com/hello?q=1&b=1").query
parse_qs(qs)

    if you must use FieldStorage

    cgi.FieldStorage(environ={'REQUEST_METHOD':'GET', 'QUERY_STRING':qs})
