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. |
