 .. function:: urlencode(query, doseq=False)
 
-   Convert a mapping object or a sequence of two-element tuples  to a "url-encoded"
-   string, suitable to pass to :func:`urlopen` above as the optional *data*
-   argument.  This is useful to pass a dictionary of form fields to a ``POST``
-   request.  The resulting string is a series of ``key=value`` pairs separated by
-   ``'&'`` characters, where both *key* and *value* are quoted using
-   :func:`quote_plus` above.  If the optional parameter *doseq* is present and
-   evaluates to true, individual ``key=value`` pairs are generated for each element
-   of the sequence. When a sequence of two-element tuples is used as the *query*
-   argument, the first element of each tuple is a key and the second is a value.
-   The order of parameters in the encoded string will match the order of parameter
-   tuples in the sequence. This module provides the functions
-   :func:`parse_qs` and :func:`parse_qsl` which are used to parse query strings
-   into Python data structures.
