ImportError: cannot import name 'urlencode' when trying to install flask.ext.storage

Question

I am working with Python 3.5.1 / Window 8.1

>> pip install -e git://github.com/kvesteri/flask-storage.git#egg=Flask-Storage

This is the outcome:

Obtaining Flask-Storage from git+git://github.com/kvesteri/flask-storage.git#egg=Flask-Storage

        from    urllib    import urlencode
    ImportError: cannot import name 'urlencode'
    

What can I do to fix this?

Answer 1

The urllib module has been split into parts and renamed in Python 3 to urllib.request, urllib.parse, and urllib.error.

[From https://docs.python.org/2/library/urllib.html]

So in Python 2 it's:

from urllib import urlencode

And in Python 3 it's:

from urllib.parse import urlencode
