parameters: (qs, keep_blank_values=0, strict_parsing=0, encoding='utf-8')
return_statement: return d
docstring: Parse a query given as a string argument.
      
      Arguments:
      
      qs: URL-encoded query string to be parsed
      
      keep_blank_values: flag indicating whether blank values in
          URL encoded queries should be treated as blank strings.  A
          true value indicates that blanks should be retained as blank
          strings.  The default false value indicates that blank values
          are to be ignored and treated as if they were  not included.
      
      strict_parsing: flag indicating what to do with parsing errors. If
          false (the default), errors are silently ignored. If true,
          errors raise a ValueError exception.
      
      Returns a dict, as G-d intended.
