      I am currently playing around with some web services and libraries, it mostly fails because most of those MicroPython programs require urllib.parse to be installed, mostly for urlencode().

      It would be great to get urllib.parse and its dependencies into the base firmware image.

      Cheers
      Mike

        Adding upip to the firmware image would make developer's live much easier.

        How to manually install the urllib.parse library.

        Create folder /upip and add files upip.py and upip_utarfile.py manually.

        Install the library with upip:

        %cd /flash/upip
        import upip
        upip.install("micropython-urllib.parse", "/flash/lib")
        

        To get it working, remove re.py and ffilib.py from lib. Hat-tip to Andreas.

        Finally you can encode URL parameters for GET requests:

        %cd /flash/lib
        import urllib.parse
        urllib.parse.urlencode({"a":1, "b": 2})
        
        => 'a=1&b=2'
