urlpy

0.5 verified Fri May 01 auth: no python maintenance

Simple URL parsing, canonicalization and equivalence library for Python. Current version 0.5, stable but rarely updated.

pip install urlpy

Common errors

error AttributeError: module 'urlpy' has no attribute 'URL' ↓

cause Using 'import urlpy' instead of 'from urlpy import URL'

fix

Use 'from urlpy import URL'

error TypeError: 'URL' object does not support item assignment ↓

cause Trying to modify a URL property by index instead of attribute

fix

Use attribute assignment like u.scheme = 'https'

gotcha URL objects are mutable. Modifying attributes like u.scheme affects the original object. ↓

fix Use u.canonicalize() or create a new URL() for modifications.

deprecated The library is in maintenance mode; no new features are added. May not be compatible with newer Python versions beyond 3.10. ↓

fix Consider using 'yarl' or 'urllib.parse' for active development.

gotcha Canonicalization may lowercases the scheme and host, but does not sort query parameters. ↓

fix Manually sort query params if needed: u.query = '&'.join(sorted(u.query.split('&')))

URL
wrong
```
import urlpy
```
correct
```
from urlpy import URL
```
The top-level module does not expose URL directly; must use from import.

Parse, access components, and canonicalize a URL.

from urlpy import URL
u = URL('http://example.com/foo?bar=baz')
print(u.scheme, u.host, u.path)
print(u.canonicalize())
