Urllib.encode() - How does it Treat a List?

[Gregory Piñero]

Hi Wise Python Folk,

Here's my code:

>>p={'type':'ba r','title':'Gre gs Chart 1','values':[1,2,3],'labels':[1,2,3]}
>>urllib.urlenc ode(p)

'values=%5B1%2C +2%2C+3%5D&labe ls=%5B1%2C+2%2C +3%5D&type=bar& title=Gregs+Cha rt+1'

Now I just can't figure out what it's giving me for say values? What
is that stuff? What I want is to create a url and pass it a list of
values, ie so that in the script accepting these parameters I can do:

form = cgi.FieldStorag e()
values=form.get list('value')

and values will equal a list with 1,2, 3 or at least '1', '2', '3'

Much thanks in advance!
