Code review needed for my Prime factorization code

def factorize(num):
    res2 = "%s: "%num

You'd be much better off to put the string stuff in a seperate function. Just have this function return the list of factors, i.e. res and have a second function take res as a parameter and return the string. That'd make your logic simpler for each function.

    res = []

Don't needlessly abbreviate. It doesn't save you any serious amount of typing time and makes it harder to follow your code.

    while num != 1:
        for each in range(2, num + 1):

To be faster here, you'll want recompute the prime factors of the numbers. You can use the Sieve of Eratosthenes. Just keep track of the prime factors found, and you'll just be able to look them up.

            quo, rem = divmod(num, each)
            if not rem:
                res.append(each)
                break
        num = quo

Your function dies here if you pass it a zero.

    pfs = set(res)

Rather than a set, use collections.Counter, it'll let you get the counts at the same time rather then recounting res.

    for each in pfs:
        power = res.count(each)
        if power == 1:
            res2 += str(each) + " "
        else:
            res2 += str(each) + '^' + str(power) + " "

String addition is inefficient. I'd suggest using "{}^{}".format(each, power). Also, store each piece in a list and then use " ".join to make them into a big string at the end.

    return res2
