Adding custom parameter in an url on Python 3.5

connection = urllib.request.urlopen("http://www.wdyl.com/profanity?q=" + text_to_check)

I don't know why but the code above is not working in python 3.5 and after several hours of searching i yet to find any answer for that. What i want to do is adding text_to_check string in the end of url

The error i'm receiving is:

raise HTTPError(req.full_url, code, msg, hdrs, fp)
urllib.error.HTTPError: HTTP Error 400: Bad Request

The problem is your text_to_check.

Try this:

query = urllib.parse.urlencode({'q': text_to_check})
urllib.request.urlopen("http://www.wdyl.com/profanity?" + query)

and print the query variable to see what has to happen with your "full of text from a .txt file" in order to work correctly as a URL.
