Using urlparse.parse_qs() - first element in dict is keyed on URL+key, instead of just key?

[Victor Hooi]

Hi,

My bad - PEBKAC - didn't read the docs properly.

I need to use urlparse.urlparse() to extract the query first.

So for anybody searching this, you can use something liek:

	In [39]: url
	Out[39]: 'https://www.foo.com/cat/dog-13?utm_source=foo1043c&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=ba^Cn=HC'

	In [40]: urlparse.parse_qs(urlparse.urlparse(url).query)
	Out[40]:
	{'utm_campaign': ['ba^Cn=HC'],
	 'utm_medium': ['email'],
	 'utm_source': ['foo1043c']}

Cheers,
Victor
