urlparse

The urlparse module is used to manipulate URL strings such as “http://www.python.org”. The general form of a URL is “scheme://netloc/path;parameters?query#fragment”.

						urlparse(urlstring
						[,
						default_scheme
						[,
						allow_fragments]])

Parses the URL in urlstring and returns a tuple (scheme, netloc, path, parameters, query, fragment). default_scheme specifies the scheme (“http”, “ftp”, and so on) to be used if none is present in the URL. If allow_fragments is zero, fragment identifiers are not allowed.

						allow_fragments])

Constructs an absolute URL by combining a base URL, base, with a relative URL, url. allow_fragments has the same meaning as ...
