This module defines RFC 3986 compliant replacements for the most
commonly used functions of the Python 2.7 Standard Library
urlparse
and Python 3 urllib.parse
modules.
>>> from uritools import uricompose, urijoin, urisplit, uriunsplit
>>> uricompose(scheme='foo', host='example.com', port=8042,
... path='/over/there', query={'name': 'ferret'},
... fragment='nose')
'foo://example.com:8042/over/there?name=ferret#nose'
>>> parts = urisplit(_)
>>> parts.scheme
'foo'
>>> parts.authority
'example.com:8042'
>>> parts.getport(default=80)
8042
>>> parts.getquerydict().get('name')
['ferret']
>>> urijoin(uriunsplit(parts), '/right/here?name=swallow#beak')
'foo://example.com:8042/right/here?name=swallow#beak'
For various reasons, the Python 2 urlparse
module is not compliant
with current Internet standards, does not include Unicode support, and
is generally unusable with proprietary URI schemes. Python 3's
urllib.parse
improves on Unicode support, but the other issues still
remain. As stated in Lib/urllib/parse.py:
RFC 3986 is considered the current standard and any future changes to urlparse module should conform with it. The urlparse module is currently not entirely compliant with this RFC due to defacto scenarios for parsing, and for backward compatibility purposes, some parsing quirks from older RFCs are retained.
This module aims to provide fully RFC 3986 compliant replacements for
some commonly used functions found in urlparse
and
urllib.parse
, plus additional functions for conveniently composing
URIs from their individual components.
