The \module{urlparse} module defines the following functions:
\begin{funcdesc}{urlparse}{urlstring\optional{, default_scheme\optional{, allow_fragments}}}
Parse a URL into 6 components, returning a 6-tuple: (addressing
scheme, network location, path, parameters, query, fragment
identifier). This corresponds to the general structure of a URL:
\begin{funcdesc}{urlparse}{urlstring\optional{,
default_scheme\optional{, allow_fragments}}}
Parse a URL into six components, returning a 6-tuple. This
corresponds to the general structure of a URL:
\code{\var{scheme}://\var{netloc}/\var{path};\var{parameters}?\var{query}\#\var{fragment}}.
Each tuple item is a string, possibly empty.
The components are not broken up in smaller parts (e.g. the network

\subsection{Results of \function{urlparse()} and \function{urlsplit()}
\label{urlparse-result-object}}
The result objects from the \function{urlparse()} and
\function{urlsplit()} functions are subclasses of the \pytype{tuple}
type. These subclasses add the attributes described in those
functions, as well as provide an additional method:
\begin{methoddesc}[ParseResult]{geturl}{}
Return the re-combined version of the original URL as a string.
This may differ from the original URL in that the scheme will always
be normalized to lower case and empty components may be dropped.
Specifically, empty parameters, queries, and fragment identifiers
will be removed.
The result of this method is a fixpoint if passed back through the
original parsing function:
\begin{verbatim}
>>> import urlparse
>>> url = 'HTTP://www.Python.org/doc/#'
>>> r1 = urlparse.urlsplit(url)
>>> r1.geturl()
'http://www.Python.org/doc/'
>>> r2 = urlparse.urlsplit(r1.geturl())
>>> r2.geturl()
'http://www.Python.org/doc/'
\end{verbatim}
\versionadded{2.5}
\end{methoddesc}
The following classes provide the implementations of the parse results::
\begin{classdesc*}{BaseResult}
Base class for the concrete result classes. This provides most of
the attribute definitions. It does not provide a \method{geturl()}
method. It is derived from \class{tuple}, but does not override the
\method{__init__()} or \method{__new__()} methods.
\end{classdesc*}
\begin{classdesc}{ParseResult}{scheme, netloc, path, params, query, fragment}
Concrete class for \function{urlparse()} results. The
\method{__new__()} method is overridden to support checking that the
right number of arguments are passed.
\end{classdesc}
\begin{classdesc}{SplitResult}{scheme, netloc, path, query, fragment}
Concrete class for \function{urlsplit()} results. The
\method{__new__()} method is overridden to support checking that the
right number of arguments are passed.
