Python & in url string

Question

Today I updated my env to python 3.8.2 Suddenly all URL strings have & rather than &.

I have tried to do the following:

import urllib.parse

params = {'pam1' : '1', 'pam2' : 2}
encoded = "https://someURL?" + urllib.parse.urlencode(params)

but the output is still the same

'https://someURL?pam1=1&pam2=2'

Is this new expected behavior? I have never encountered this and it worked fine before.

I am using the Jupyter lab.

I have tried your code and my output is someURL?pam1=1&pam2=2 as expected. If you try it on a blank jupyter workbook, do you still get this result? — Christian

Yes, I have tried it in a couple of blank notebooks I still can't get the expected result. — David

I do not observe this when I test this in a Python 3.8 shell, test it online python.org/shell — wp78de

yes, it seems its a jupyter notebook issue. It works just fine in the shell for me too. — David

This is an issue with Jupyter trying to automatically convert links into clickable hyperlinks. It is fixed in more recent Jupyter version. Try to update your Jupyter installation
