I vote -0. The issue can also be addressed with a small and simple
helper function that wraps urlparse and compares the query parameter. Or
you cann urlencode() with `sorted(qs.items)` instead of `qs` in the
application.
The order of query string parameter is actually important for some
applications, for example Zope, colander+deform and other form
frameworks use the parameter order to group parameters.
Therefore I propose that the query string is only sorted when the query
is exactly a dict and not some subclass or class that has an items() method.
if type(query) is dict:
query = sorted(query.items())
else:
query = query.items()
