Here is what the jQuery manual [0] says:
  "Data that is sent to the server is appended to the URL as a query
string. If the value of the data parameter is an object (map), it is
converted to a string and url-encoded before it is appended to the
URL."

So it is indeed URL encoded.  I have never tried it, but my guess is
in your Python code you need to first decode the json qeury parameter
and then pass it through json.loads()
