URL Encoder

Public lib for encoding text and URLs into valid ASCII charset for web-browsing

Basically: España -> Espa%C3%B1a

and also with URLs: http://google.es/search?q=España la vieja -> http://google.es/search?q=Espa%C3%B1a%20la%20vieja

Installation

• You can use pip install URLEncoder for easy installation
• Although, you can download this git and run setup.py with python setup.py install

Go to the PyPi page: URLEncoder on PyPi

Usage

When you have downloaded this library, for using it the easiest way is:

import urlencode as ude

input_text = "WHAT_YOU_WANT_TO_ENCODE"
# You have to complete the filed 'text' with a simple text (for example: España) or with
# an URL (http://google.com/search?q=España suiza)

results = ude.urlencoder(text=input_text)

# The function returns a tuple, being the first value the encoded string and the second one, 
# info about web-page (if it is going to work, etc)

encoded_str = results[0]
info = results[1]

print("Encoded:", encoded_str, "\n\nINFO:", info)

# If text was: input_text = "España"
# encoded_str --> Espa%C3%B1a
# info --> Your word "España" was translated into "UTF-8 encoding for ASCII-URLs" correctly

# If text was: input_text = "http://google.com/search?q=España suiza"
# encoded_str --> http://google.com/search?q=Espa%C3%B1a%20suiza
# info --> Web-page is responding correctly.
#          It seems that it has a valid protocol for translating the UTF-8 corresponding ASCII-characters into a valid
#          URL-ASCII typography. You probably will not have problems when accessing to it

Nowadays, URLEncoder can transform every single text to a compatible URL with ASCII values. It also has a checker in order to know if the obtained URL is going to work as the original URL

¿Is public?

Of course, this took me a bit of my time 😉 but you can completely use it for free as well as all the main program such as the dictionary of special characters.
