urllib.urlopen and Russian URLs

Question

Python

Tell me, how can urllib'oy open Russian URLs?
All sorts of options:

urllib2.urlopen(u'http://my_site/method?¶m1=Русский текст'.encode('utf-8'))

either or do not help.
text = u'Русский текст c пробелом'
urllib2.urlopen(u'http://my_site/method?¶m1=%s' % text)

text = unicode(u'Русский текст c пробелом')
urllib2.urlopen(u'http://my_site/method?¶m1=%s' % text)

Answer 1

this was for parameters, and for domains you need to use punycode
'domain.rf'.encode('idna')

Answer 2

urllib.urlencode({'param': u'text'.encode('utf-8')})

Answer 3

If I understood you correctly, then you are trying to open IRI as a URI, which is not entirely correct. There are many methods for translating from IRI. You can just use urllib.unquote(), but it doesn't always work. Therefore, we google for the request “python iri to uri” and copy the necessary code. There is a small method, I personally ripped from the Django framework (like django.utils.encoding.iri_to_uri)

Answer 4

Example for ' https://bdt.spb.ru/poster ':
bdt = ' https://bdt.spb.ru/ '+ quote('poster')
urllib.request.urlopen(bdt)
