No, urlparse does not have any method for encoding/decoding.
It has been left to urllib2 in urlencode, urldecode, quote, unquote etc.
Strangely though, user should use urllib2 for that purpose.

And yeah, there is been an effort to merge the urlparse and urllib2
functionality and I am slowly upto it. :)
Before more requests come this way, I guess I have to show some progress.
