RFC 3986 compliant, Unicode-aware, scheme-agnostic replacement for urlparse
Project description
For various reasons, the Python Standard Library urlparse module is not compliant with current Internet standards, does not include Unicode support, and is generally unusable with proprietary URI schemes. As stated in Lib/urlparse.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, Unicode-aware replacements for the most commonly used functions provided by urlparse.
The uritools module currently defines the following classes and functions:
uritools.urisplit(uristring)
Split a URI string into a named tuple with five components:
<scheme>://<authority>/<path>?<query>#<fragment>
The returned object is an instance of SplitResult.
uritools.uriunsplit(parts)
Combine the elements of a tuple as returned by urisplit() into a complete URI as a string.
The parts argument can be any five-item iterable.
uritools.urijoin(base, ref, strict=False)
Resolve a URI reference relative to a base URI and return the resulting URI string.
uritools.uricompose(scheme=None, authority=None, path=’’, query=None, fragment=None, encoding=’utf-8’)
Compose a URI string from its components.
class uritools.SplitResult(scheme, authority, path, query, fragment)
Extend namedtuple to hold urisplit() results.
- Attributes:
- scheme:
URI scheme or None if not present
- authority:
URI authority component or None if not present
- path:
URI path component, always present but may be empty
- query:
URI query component or None if not present
- fragment:
URI fragment component or None if not present
