Okay, done :)
(Assuming that Python code in {{...}} can't access anything from Javascript
on the page - and here encode URI came into play, as per your earlier
advice)
var id = $('#CurrentCartId').text();
var description = $(this).text();
var url='{{=URL('cart','description')}}';
url += '/' + id + '/';
url += "?description="+description;
url=encodeURI(url);
ajax(url,[],':eval');
