For various reasons, urllib.parse and its Python 2 predecessor urlparse
|
|
are not compliant with current Internet standards. 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
|
|
the most commonly used functions found in urllib.parse. It also
|
|
includes functions for distinguishing between the different forms of
|
|
URIs and URI references, and for conveniently creating URIs from their
|
|
individual components.
