title: How to parse BaseHTTPRequestHandler.path
body: <p>I'm using Python's <code>BaseHTTPRequestHandler</code>. When I implement the do_GET method I find myself parsing by hand <code>self.path</code></p>
  
  <p><code>self.path</code> looks something like:</p>
  
  <pre><code>/?parameter=value&amp;other=some
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>How should I parse it in order to get a dict like </p>
  
  <pre><code>{'parameter': 'value', 'other':'some'}
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Thanks,</p>
