I am using an API that doesn't accept JSON in the requests' bodies. It uses x-www-form-urlencoded. Thus, if I have to send this dict: { 'a': 1, 'b': 2, 'c': { 'k': 3, 'v': 4, 'l': { 'p': 5, 'q': 6, }, }, } It have to be encoded like this: a=1 b=2 c[k]=3 c[v]=4 c[l][p]=5 c[l][q]=6 However, urllib.parse.urlencode won't parse the dict this way. Instead it's going to encode c content literally and put within it (c={encodeddict}). I tried to implement some encoder like this by myself, but I couldn't get to deal with multiple nested dicts. I only managed to encode 1-level dicts (like c[k]=3), but not recursively to the last level (c[l][p]=5, for example). What is the best way to achieve this kind of encoding in Python 3?
