Urlencode to list in python

Question

   finalKeywords = [] 
   #after populating finalKeywords 
   query = {
       "apiKey" : self.apikey,
        "country" : country,
        "currency" : currency,
        "kw" : finalKeywords,
        "t" : int(time.time())
    }
    uri = urllib.urlencode(query, True)
    print uri

After decoding uri I get

country=&apiKey=5f0092f1777c3a5ed0de&kw=iphone&kw=android&t=1496924489&currency=usd

While my expected output is

country=&apiKey=5f0092f1777c3a5ed0de&kw[0]=iphone&kw[1]=android&t=1496924489&currency=usd

What to do..? I have been looking for solutions but unable to get.

Like this?

query = {
       "apiKey" : self.apikey,
        "country" : country,
        "currency" : currency,
        "kw[]" : finalKeywords,
        "t" : int(time.time())
    }

If you need to have the positional values in there as well for some reason, this is one way to do it:

query = {
        "apiKey" : self.apikey,
        "country" : country,
        "currency" : currency,
        "t" : int(time.time())
    }
for p,q in enumerate(finalKeywords):
   query["kw[{pos}]".format(pos=p)] = q
