urlencode empty list encoding bug & fix

Reported by: aneil Owned by: nobody
Component: HTTP handling Version: dev
Severity: Normal Keywords: urlencode
Cc: Triage Stage: Accepted
Has patch: yes Needs documentation: no

Description (last modified by Julien Phalip)

django.utils.http.urlencode doesn't behave the same as urllib.urlencode for empty lists:

urllib.urlencode({'foo':[]},True) => ''

django.utils.http.urlencode({'foo':[]},True) => 'foo=%5B%5D'

The attached diff has a change at line 557 in trunk/django/utils/http.py:

-         isinstance(v, (list,tuple)) and [smart_str(i) for i in v] or smart_str(v))
+         [smart_str(i) for i in v] if isinstance(v, (list,tuple)) else smart_str(v))

Attached.

I've updated the patch to include tests for this. It's all isolated in a branch here: ​http://github.com/ericflo/django/compare/ticket12140

Patch needs improvement: set

The tests would need to be rewritten using unittests since this is now Django's preferred way.
