[Python] Python GET request with a nested parameters

I'm trying to write API client for Jira with Python requests lib according reference: https://developer.atlassian.com/server/jira/platform/jira-rest-api-examples/

Request to be generated:

http://localhost:8080/rest/api/2/search?jql=assignee=charlie&startAt=2&maxResults=2

As I know, parameters to GET request should be passed as dictionary like:

params = {'assignee':'charlie', 'startAt':'2'}


But all main parameters are nested in jql parameter, so I assume there is should be a nested dict like:

params = {'jql': {'assignee': 'charlie'}}


But that's doesn't work - as a result I've got request to

/rest/api/2/search?jql=assignee


As expect /rest/api/2/search?jql=assignee=charlie using

r = requests.get(url, params=params)


How to manage such request?

UPD:

To be more clear, I'd like to wrap request in a method with kwargs, like:

search_query(assignee='charlie', startAt=1, etc...)


And then generate a query using this params, but maybe there are any other ideas.
