In [9]: from urllib.parse import urlencode, parse_qs

In [11]: d = dict(cert_reqs=ssl.CERT_NONE)

In [12]: urlencode(d)
Out[12]: 'cert_reqs=VerifyMode.CERT_NONE'

In [25]: parse_qs('cert_reqs=VerifyMode.CERT_NONE')
Out[25]: {'cert_reqs': ['VerifyMode.CERT_NONE']}

```

This used to work fine and produce `'cert_reqs=0'` on Python 2.7, allowing it to be decoded properly downstream. However, `'cert_reqs=VerifyMode.CERT_NONE'` can't be decoded generically. So, something it's that used to work in prior python versions that is breaking now.

Additional information. json.dumps() actually dumps that value as a number instead of 'VerifyMode.CERT_NONE'. 

It appears that urlencode doesn't work properly with enums, where I would expect it to emit the numeric value of the enum.
