urlnorm 1.1.3

Normalize a URL to a standard unicode encoding

urlnorm.py

Normalize a URL to a standard unicode representation

urlnorm normalizes a URL by:

• lowercasing the scheme and hostname

• converting the hostname to IDN format

• taking out default port if present (e.g., http://www.foo.com:80/)

• collapsing the path (./, ../, etc)

• removing the last character in the hostname if it is ‘.’

• unquoting any % escaped characters (where possible)

Installation

pip install urlnorm

Example

>>> import urlnorm
>>> urlnorm.norm("http://xn--q-bga.com./u/u/../%72/l/")
u'http://q\xe9.com/u/r/l/'
