Python bindings for faup-rs Rust library

pyfaup: Fast URL Parser for Python (Rust-Powered)

pyfaup is a high-performance URL parsing library for Python, built in Rust using PyO3. It provides a modern, type-safe, and efficient way to parse URLs, with backward compatibility for the legacy Faup C project's API.

Features

• Fast and Efficient: Powered by Rust for maximum performance.
• Modern API: Direct access to URL components via the Url class.
• Backward Compatibility: FaupCompat class mimics the original Faup Python API.
• Comprehensive Parsing: Supports schemes, credentials, hosts, ports, paths, queries, and fragments.
• Error Handling: Clear and informative error messages.

Installation

Prerequisites

• Python 3.8+
• Rust toolchain (for building from source)

Install from PyPI

pip install pyfaup-rs

Install from Source

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/ail-project/faup-rs.git
   cd faup-rs/python
   

2. Install using maturin:

   pip install maturin
   maturin develop
   

Usage

Using the Url Class

The Url class provides direct access to all URL components:

from pyfaup import Url

url = Url("https://user:[e-mail]:8080/path?query=value#fragment")
print(url.scheme)   # "https"
print(url.username) # "user"
print(url.host)     # "sub.example.com"
print(url.port)     # 8080

Using the FaupCompat Class

The FaupCompat class provides a compatibility layer for the original FAUP API:

from pyfaup import FaupCompat as Faup

faup = Faup()
faup.decode("https://user:[e-mail]:8080/path?query=value#fragment")
result = faup.get()
print(result["credentials"])  # "user:pass"
print(result["domain"])       # "example.com"
print(result["scheme"])       # "https"

API Reference

Url Class

• Attributes:

  • scheme: URL scheme (e.g., "http", "https").
  • username: Username from credentials.
  • password: Password from credentials.
  • host: Host part of the URL.
  • subdomain: Subdomain part of the hostname.
  • domain: Domain part of the hostname.
  • suffix: Top-level domain (TLD).
  • port: Port number.
  • path: Path component.
  • query: Query string.
  • fragment: Fragment identifier.

• Methods:

  • new(url: str) -> Url: Parses a URL string and returns a Url object.

FaupCompat Class

• Methods:
  • new() -> FaupCompat: Creates a new FaupCompat instance.
  • decode(url: str) -> None: Decodes a URL string.
  • get() -> dict: Returns a dictionary with all URL components.

Compatibility Notes

• The FaupCompat class is provided for backward compatibility and may be slower than the Url class due to additional Python object creation.
• The Url class is recommended for new projects.
