Description
You have to encode your query. If qPath is a query to be encoded, please do as follows.
import urllib
urllib.urlencode({'<parameter_name>':qPath,})
Sample program
This tutorial introduces a example that retrieve entries which feature-key is 'rRNA', qualifier name is 'product' and has '16s ribosomal RNA' in qualifier value with searchByXMLPath of ARSA.
