ImportError: cannot import name 'urlencode' from 'urllib' for pypodio2

Question

Please I have been trying to import the api from pypodio and I keep on getting this error: ImportError: cannot import name 'urlencode' from 'urllib'.I have tried all the suggestions I saw on stack overflow but the error still persists. Using python3. The line of code I am using is:from pypodio2 import api

I looked at this. There python wrapper has not been set up for python 3 (or at least 3.9), the libraries they are referencing are different - instead they need to import urlencode from urllib.parse. There are a few other areas like that.

Here is an example:

class PodioClient():
    client_id = settings.PODIO_SETTINGS.get('client_id')
    client_secret = settings.PODIO_SETTINGS.get('client_secret')
    apps = settings.PODIO_SETTINGS.get('apps')

    def get_client(self, app_name: str):
        for app in self.apps:
            if app.get('name') == app_name:
                return api.OAuthAppClient(
                    client_id=self.client_id,
                    client_secret=self.client_secret,
                    app_id=app.get('id'),
                    app_token=app.get('token')
                )
        raise Exception('No app has been implemented for {}'.format(app_name))

def handle(self, item_id):
    response = PodioClient().get_client('valuations').Item.find(item_id)

# call handle with the item id

We really just need the python wrapper to get an update. Any chance you can all get on that?

Download podio library from github and pip install the zip file, then it will show no errors while installing. Also do not directly install from github or pip install Podio2.
