Wojtek Ruszczewski added the comment:
I was looking at the sentence:
"When query parameter is a str, the safe, encoding and error parameters are
passed down to quote_plus() for encoding."
The query argument can't be a string itself (gives a TypeError with 3.5a0 and I
think it's only intended to accept dicts or sequences of 2-tuples). The
"parameter" then must refer to a component of the query -- a key or a value.
The safe argument is passed down and is effective no matter if a component is
of str or bytes type (or a sequence with doseq), for example:
>>> urlencode({b'/ n': ''}, safe='/')
'/+n='
(note the "b"; without "safe" the slash would get encoded as %2F).
Maybe it would also be good to change "query parameter" to "query component" in
that sentence.
