Ah, I solved my little puzzle if anyone is interested:
I needed to get a JSON dump of my dictionary before encoding.
data = json.dumps(flow).encode('utf-8')
request = urllib.request.Request(url, data)
response = urllib.request.urlopen(request)
So what is the difference, well *json.dumps* output is encoded as a single
element. Using *urllib.parse.urlencode* encodes each element separately.
*urllib.parse.urlencode -->*
b'dpid=69133577248&cookie=1&cookie_mask=1&table_id=0&idle_timeout=0&hard_timeout=0&priority=0&flags=1&match=%7B%27in_port%27%3A+7%7D&actions=%5B%5D'
*json.dumps --> *b'{"dpid": 69133577248, "cookie": 1,
"cookie_mask": 1, "table_id": 0, "idle_timeout": 0, "hard_timeout": 0,
"priority": 0, "flags": 1, "match": {"in_port": 7}, "actions": []}'
Another way I found works is to convert the dictionary to a string
(actually that appears to be what json.dumps does)
*urllib.parse.urlencode --> *
b'dpid=69133577248&cookie=1&cookie_mask=1&table_id=0&idle_timeout=0&hard_timeout=0&priority=0&flags=1&match=%7B%27in_port%27%3A+8%7D&actions=%5B%5D'
*json.dumps -->* b'{"dpid": 69133577248, "cookie": 1,
"cookie_mask": 1, "table_id": 0, "idle_timeout": 0, "hard_timeout": 0,
"priority": 0, "flags": 1, "match": {"in_port": 8}, "actions": []}'
*string -->* b"{'dpid': 69133577248, 'cookie': 1,
'cookie_mask': 1, 'table_id': 0, 'idle_timeout': 0, 'hard_timeout': 0,
'priority': 0, 'flags': 1, 'match': {'in_port': 8}, 'actions': []}"
as this code option works too.
data = str(flow).encode('utf-8')
request = urllib.request.Request(url, data)
response = urllib.request.urlopen(request)
