how to avoid square brackets from url after unquote-CodePudding

i've decided to add a querystring on URL like this

import urllib
import urllib.parse
from urllib.parse import urlencode

url = "https://datausa.io/api/data?Geography=04000US06&drilldowns=Race,Ethnicity&measures=Hispanic Population,Hispanic Population Moe"
parts = urllib.parse.urlparse(url)
query_dict = urllib.parse.parse_qs(parts.query)  
query_dict['Geography'] = '04000US24'
new_parts = list(parts)
new_parts[4] = urlencode(query_dict)
print(urllib.parse.urlunparse(new_parts))

and i got this result

https://datausa.io/api/data?Geography=04000US24&drilldowns=['Race,Ethnicity']&measures=['Hispanic Population,Hispanic Population Moe']

and so this url didn't work anymore. So i used unquote, like this

from urllib.parse import unquote
url = unquote('https://datausa.io/api/data?Geography=04000US24&drilldowns=['Race,Ethnicity']&measures=['Hispanic Population,Hispanic Population Moe']')
print(url)

but got this

https://datausa.io/api/data?Geography=04000US24&drilldowns=['Race,Ethnicity']&measures=['Hispanic Population,Hispanic Population Moe']

and this url doesn't work too.

How can i remove square brackets an come back to original url https://datausa.io/api/data?Geography=04000US24&drilldowns=Race,Ethnicity&measures=Hispanic Population,Hispanic Population Moe ?

Thanks

Use the doseq parameter.

new_parts[4] = urlencode(query_dict, doseq=True)

See the docs on urllib.parse.urlencode for more information on the parameter
