Function parse_qs_bytes

tornado/escape.py:173–193

Parses a query string like urlparse.parse_qs, but takes bytes and returns the values as byte strings. Keys still become type str (interpreted as latin1 in python3!) because it's too painful to keep them as byte strings in python3 and in practice they're nearly always ascii anyway.

    qs: Union[str, bytes], keep_blank_values: bool = False, strict_parsing: bool = False
