In Python 2.4.4, cgi.parse_qs(qs='', strict_parsing=True) errors out:
To the best of my knowledge, this is bad behavior, since a large
percentage of URLs actually used have empty query strings.

Can query strings be empty? I am unable to find an instance.

Here is one: http://example.com/foo?

Addionally, if the default value is empty string, you expect it work with
empty string. If a non empty value is needed, it would use None as the
default.

Hi Sean,
This is a very minor issue (IMO) with Python 2.4. Why did you assign it
to gvanrossum?
Makes me wonder at your assignments.
Thanks,
Senthil

I don't see what the problem is. You requested strict_parsing=True, and
this is what strict parsing does.
