I am trying to urlencode this string before I submit.
queryString = 'eventName=' + evt.fields["eventName"] + '&' + 'eventDescription=' + evt.fields["eventDescription"];

You need to pass your parameters into urlencode()
as either a mapping (dict), or a sequence of 2-tuples, like:
>>> import urllib >>> f = { 'eventName' : 'myEvent', 'eventDescription' : 'cool event'} >>> urllib.urlencode(f) 'eventName=myEvent&eventDescription=cool+event'
Python 3 or above
>>> urllib.parse.urlencode(f) eventName=myEvent&eventDescription=cool+event
Note that this does not do url encoding in the commonly used sense (look at the output). For that use urllib.parse.quote_plus
.
