yarl 1.24.0

Yet another URL library

yarl

The module provides handy URL class for URL parsing and changing.

Introduction

Url is constructed from str:

>>> from yarl import URL
>>> url = URL('https://www.python.org/~guido?arg=1#frag')
>>> url
URL('https://www.python.org/~guido?arg=1#frag')

All url parts: scheme, user, password, host, port, path, query and fragment are accessible by properties:

>>> url.scheme
'https'
>>> url.host
'www.python.org'
>>> url.path
'/~guido'
>>> url.query_string
'arg=1'
>>> url.query
<MultiDictProxy('arg': '1')>
>>> url.fragment
'frag'

All url manipulations produce a new url object:

>>> url = URL('https://www.python.org')
>>> url / 'foo' / 'bar'
URL('https://www.python.org/foo/bar')
>>> url / 'foo' % {'bar': 'baz'}
URL('https://www.python.org/foo?bar=baz')

Strings passed to constructor and modification methods are automatically encoded giving canonical representation as result:

>>> url = URL('https://www.python.org/шлях')
>>> url
URL('https://www.python.org/%D1%88%D0%BB%D1%8F%D1%85')

Regular properties are percent-decoded, use raw_ versions for getting encoded strings:

>>> url.path
'/шлях'

>>> url.raw_path
'/%D1%88%D0%BB%D1%8F%D1%85'

Human readable representation of URL is available as .human_repr():

>>> url.human_repr()
'https://www.python.org/шлях'

For full documentation please read https://yarl.aio-libs.org.

Installation

$ pip install yarl

The library is Python 3 only!

PyPI contains binary wheels for Linux, Windows and MacOS. If you want to install yarl on another operating system where wheels are not provided, the tarball will be used to compile the library from the source code. It requires a C compiler and and Python headers installed.

To skip the compilation you must explicitly opt-in by using a PEP 517 configuration setting pure-python, or setting the YARL_NO_EXTENSIONS environment variable to a non-empty value, e.g.:

$ pip install yarl --config-settings=pure-python=false

Please note that the pure-Python (uncompiled) version is much slower. However, PyPy always uses a pure-Python implementation, and, as such, it is unaffected by this variable.

Dependencies

YARL requires multidict and propcache libraries.

API documentation

The documentation is located at https://yarl.aio-libs.org.

Why isn’t boolean supported by the URL query API?

There is no standard for boolean representation of boolean values.

Some systems prefer true/false, others like yes/no, on/off, Y/N, 1/0, etc.

yarl cannot make an unambiguous decision on how to serialize bool values because it is specific to how the end-user’s application is built and would be different for different apps. The library doesn’t accept booleans in the API; a user should convert bools into strings using own preferred translation protocol.

Comparison with other URL libraries

• furl (https://pypi.python.org/pypi/furl)

  The library has rich functionality but the furl object is mutable.

  I’m afraid to pass this object into foreign code: who knows if the code will modify my url in a terrible way while I just want to send URL with handy helpers for accessing URL properties.

  furl has other non-obvious tricky things but the main objection is mutability.

• URLObject (https://pypi.python.org/pypi/URLObject)

  URLObject is immutable, that’s pretty good.

  Every URL change generates a new URL object.

  But the library doesn’t do any decode/encode transformations leaving the end user to cope with these gory details.

Changelog

v1.24.0

(2026-05-19)

Bug fixes

• Delayed importing pydantic until it’s needed to avoid increased import time – by @Dreamsorcerer.

  Related issues and pull requests on GitHub: #1607, #1702.

• Fixed pickling of ~yarl.URL on Python 3.15, where SplitResult gained a __getstate__ that requires attributes set by __init__. __getstate__ now returns the raw 5-tuple instead of a SplitResult built via tuple.__new__, so pickling no longer touches SplitResult serialization at all. Pickles produced by older yarl releases (which embed a SplitResult) continue to load unchanged – by @befeleme.

  Related issues and pull requests on GitHub: #1632, #1642, #1687.

• Fixed a parsing issue where URLs containing text before an opening bracket in the host component (e.g. http://127.0.0.1[aa::ff]) were silently accepted instead of being rejected as strictly invalid per RFC 3986 – by @rodrigobnogueira.

  Related issues and pull requests on GitHub: #1654.

• Raise ValueError when a URL’s authority component contains a backslash, which is not a valid character per 3986 – by @rodrigobnogueira.

  Related issues and pull requests on GitHub: #1659.

• Fixed a host-confusion parsing bug where URLs containing multiple bracket characters in the host component (e.g. http://[:localhost[]].google:80) were silently parsed as an unintended host. Both split_url() and split_netloc() now raise ValueError when more than one [ or ] is found in the authority, or when [ does not appear at the start of the host subcomponent, in compliance with 3986 – by @rodrigobnogueira.

  Related issues and pull requests on GitHub: #1661.

• Fixed a parser/serializer inconsistency where percent-encoded characters in the scheme portion of a URL (e.g. ht%74p://...) were decoded by the requoter, causing str() and yarl.URL.human_repr() to emit an absolute URL with a scheme and host while the parsed properties (~yarl.URL.scheme, ~yarl.URL.host, ~yarl.URL.absolute) reported a relative, hostless URL. The fix preserves the percent-encoding of the colon (%3A) in relative paths whenever decoding it would materialize a URL scheme – by @rodrigobnogueira.

  Related issues and pull requests on GitHub: #1669.

• Fixed a parsing issue where URLs containing text after the closing bracket of an IP-literal host (e.g. http://[::1]allowed.example:1/) were silently accepted and normalized to the bracketed IP address (http://[::1]:1/), dropping the trailing suffix and changing the effective host identity. Per RFC 3986, after the closing ] only : followed by a port number or end-of-authority is valid – by @rodrigobnogueira.

  Related issues and pull requests on GitHub: #1672.

Features

• Start building and shipping riscv64 wheels – by @justeph.

  Related issues and pull requests on GitHub: #1626.

Removals and backward incompatible breaking changes

• Dropped support for the experimental free-threaded build of Python 3.13 – by @ngoldbaum.

  Related issues and pull requests on GitHub: #1667.

Improved documentation

• Added a note in the yarl.URL.with_query() documentation explaining that types implementing __int__ (e.g. ~uuid.UUID) are converted to integers, and advising users to cast to str when the human-readable representation is needed – by @r266-tech.

  Related issues and pull requests on GitHub: #1638, #1645.

Contributor-facing changes

• Resolved a ruff ISC004 violation in the PEP 517 build backend so the pre-commit ruff-check hook passes again – by @bdraco.

  Related issues and pull requests on GitHub: #1674.

• Renamed the actions/checkout depth input to fetch-depth in the reusable codspeed workflow so the actionlint pre-commit hook passes and the intended shallow clone actually takes effect – by @bdraco.

  Related issues and pull requests on GitHub: #1676.

• Bumped the pinned pyupgrade pre-commit hook to v3.21.2 so it stops crashing on Python 3.14, which made tokenize.cookie_re bytes-only – by @bdraco.

  Related issues and pull requests on GitHub: #1677.

• The type preciseness coverage report generated by MyPy is now uploaded to Coveralls and will not be included in the Codecov views going forward – by @webknjaz.

  Related issues and pull requests on GitHub: #1680.

• Raised the per-matrix-cell timeout of the CI Test job from 5 to 10 minutes to prevent false failures on slower runners – by @aiolibsbot.

  Related issues and pull requests on GitHub: #1683.

• Added an AGENTS.md orientation file at the repository root, covering the pull request template, CHANGES/ news fragment conventions, draft-PR workflow, and the Cython quoter layout, so LLM contributors land changes that match project style – by @bdraco.

  Related issues and pull requests on GitHub: #1685.

• Documented in AGENTS.md that the coverage gate also applies to test code, so unreachable defensive raise guards and one-sided cleanup branches in tests will fail CI – by @bdraco.

  Related issues and pull requests on GitHub: #1689.

• Shrunk the CI wheel-build matrix on pull requests and non-tag pushes by restricting CIBW_ARCHS_MACOS to arm64, CIBW_ARCHS_WINDOWS to AMD64, and skipping the windows-11-arm runner – the test matrix only exercises those architectures, so the previously-built x86_64 macOS and ARM64 Windows wheels were never installed. Tag releases still build the full architecture set – by @aiolibsbot.

  Related issues and pull requests on GitHub: #1692.

• Documented the docs spell check (make doc-spelling) in AGENTS.md as a pre-push gate, mirroring aio-libs/multidict#1345. The spell checker reads every CHANGES/*.rst fragment as part of the docs build, so an unknown technical word in a news fragment fails CI before a human sees the PR – by @bdraco.

  Related issues and pull requests on GitHub: #1693.

• Added a CLAUDE.md at the repository root that imports AGENTS.md via Claude Code’s @-syntax, so the project’s LLM contributor rules load automatically when working in Claude Code – by @bdraco.

  Related issues and pull requests on GitHub: #1696.

• Enforced top-level imports across yarl and tests via the ruff PLC0415 rule, wired through a new ruff-check pre-commit hook. Function-scoped imports must now opt in with # noqa: PLC0415 plus a comment explaining the import-time reason. Dropped the yesqa hook, which could not recognize ruff-only codes and stripped the new noqa comments as stale; a wider migration off flake8 onto ruff will follow separately – by @bdraco.

  Related issues and pull requests on GitHub: #1697.

• Migrated the main tree from standalone black and isort pre-commit hooks to ruff format and the ruff I lint rule, sharing the existing [tool.ruff] config in pyproject.toml. ruff-check now runs with --fix so import-order fixes apply on commit, and the orphan [isort] block in setup.cfg was removed. The packaging/pep517_backend/ subtree keeps its own .ruff.toml and is unaffected – by @bdraco.

  Related issues and pull requests on GitHub: #1698.

• Switched the cibuildwheel build frontend to build[uv] so that uv provisions every build and test virtual environment in the wheel matrix. Test-dependency installation in particular drops from a multi-second pip install per ABI to a roughly sub-second uv resolve – by @bdraco.

  Related issues and pull requests on GitHub: #1699.

• Restructured the root CLAUDE.md to import contributor context from a shared aio-libs layer (~/.claude/aio-libs/context.md), a project-specific layer (~/.claude/aio-libs/yarl/context.md), the in-tree AGENTS.md, and an optional per-checkout CLAUDE.local.md override (added to .gitignore), so shared aio-libs guidance can live outside the repository while project rules continue to load automatically in Claude Code – by @aiolibsbot.

  Related issues and pull requests on GitHub: #1700, #1701.

• Switched CI/CD to tox-dev/workflow’s reusable-tox.yml driven by an in-tree tox.ini. The build, metadata-validation and lint (pre-commit, spellcheck-docs, build-docs) jobs all run through the reusable workflow; MyPy coverage uploads to Coveralls from a post-tox-job hook – by @bdraco.

  Related issues and pull requests on GitHub: #1711.

• Switched the CI test job from actions/setup-python to astral-sh/setup-uv with uv pip install. Pre-release interpreters skip the wheel cache so each run resolves freshly against the current snapshot – by @bdraco.

  Related issues and pull requests on GitHub: #1715.

• Switched the Aiohttp workflow that runs the aiohttp test suite against the in-tree yarl checkout from actions/setup-python to astral-sh/setup-uv with uv pip install – by @bdraco.

  Related issues and pull requests on GitHub: #1716.

• Switched the Aiohttp workflow’s make .develop step to install aiohttp’s dev env through uv pip by passing PIP="uv pip" – by @bdraco.

1.23.0

(2025-12-16)

Features

• Added support for pydantic, the ~yarl.URL could be used as a field type in pydantic models seamlessly.

  Related issues and pull requests on GitHub: #1607.

Packaging updates and notes for downstreams

• The CI has been set up to notify Codecov about upload completion – by @webknjaz.

  With this, Codecov no longer needs to guess whether it received all the intended coverage reports or not.

  Related issues and pull requests on GitHub: #1577.

• The in-tree build backend allows the end-users appending CFLAGS and LDFLAGS by setting respective environment variables externally.

  It additionally sets up default compiler flags to perform building with maximum optimization in release mode. This makes the resulting artifacts shipped to PyPI smaller.

  When line tracing is requested, the compiler and linker flags are configured to include as much information as possible for debugging and coverage tracking. The development builds are therefore smaller.

  – by @webknjaz

  Related issues and pull requests on GitHub: #1586.

• The PEP 517 build backend now supports a new config setting for controlling whether to build the project in-tree or in a temporary directory. It only affects wheels and is set up to build in a temporary directory by default. It does not affect editable wheel builds — they will keep being built in-tree regardless.

  – by @webknjaz

  Here’s an example of using this setting:

  $ python -m build \
      --config-setting=build-inplace=true

  Related issues and pull requests on GitHub: #1590.

• Starting this version, when building the wheels is happening in an automatically created temporary directory, the build backend makes an effort to normalize the respective file system path to a deterministic source checkout directory.

  – by @webknjaz

  It does so by injecting the -ffile-prefix-map compiler option into the CFLAGS environment variable as suggested by known reproducible build practices.

  The effect is that downstreams will get more reproducible build results.

  Related issues and pull requests on GitHub: #1591.

• Dropped Python 3.9 support; Python 3.10 is the minimal supported Python version – by @bdraco.

  Related issues and pull requests on GitHub: #1609.

  Related issues and pull requests on GitHub: #1586.

• The CI has been updated to consistently benchmark optimized release builds – by @webknjaz.

  When the release workflow is triggered, the pre-built wheels ready to hit PyPI are being tested. Otherwise, the job builds the project from source, while the rest of the workflow uses debug builds for line tracing and coverage collection.

1.20.1

(2025-06-09)

Bug fixes

• Started raising a ValueError exception raised for corrupted IPv6 URL values.

  – by @MaelPic.

  Related issues and pull requests on GitHub: #1512.

Packaging updates and notes for downstreams

• Updated to use Cython 3.1 universally across the build path – by @lysnikolaou.

  Related issues and pull requests on GitHub: #1514.

• Made Cython line tracing opt-in via the with-cython-tracing build config setting – by @bdraco.

  Previously, line tracing was enabled by default in pyproject.toml, which caused build issues for some users and made wheels nearly twice as slow. Now line tracing is only enabled when explicitly requested via pip install . --config-setting=with-cython-tracing=true or by setting the YARL_CYTHON_TRACING environment variable.

  Related issues and pull requests on GitHub: #1084, #1105, #1107.

Miscellaneous internal changes

• Improved performance of encoding hosts – by @bdraco.

  Previously, the library would unconditionally try to parse a host as an IP Address. The library now avoids trying to parse a host as an IP Address if the string is not in one of the formats described in 3986#section-3.2.2.

  Related issues and pull requests on GitHub: #1104.

---

1.9.10

(2024-09-04)

Bug fixes

• URL.join()() has been changed to match 3986 and align with / operation() and URL.joinpath()() when joining URLs with empty segments. Previously urllib.parse.urljoin was used, which has known issues with empty segments (python/cpython#84774).

  Due to the semantics of URL.join()(), joining an URL with scheme requires making it relative, prefixing with ./.

  >>> URL("https://web.archive.org/web/").join(URL("./https://github.com/aio-libs/yarl"))
  URL('https://web.archive.org/web/https://github.com/aio-libs/yarl')

  Empty segments are honored in the base as well as the joined part.

  >>> URL("https://web.archive.org/web/https://").join(URL("github.com/aio-libs/yarl"))
  URL('https://web.archive.org/web/https://github.com/aio-libs/yarl')

  – by @commonism

  This change initially appeared in 1.9.5 but was reverted in 1.9.6 to resolve a problem with query string handling.

  Related issues and pull requests on GitHub: #1039, #1082.

Features

• Added ~yarl.URL.absolute which is now preferred over URL.is_absolute() – by @bdraco.

  Related issues and pull requests on GitHub: #1100.

1.9.7

(2024-09-01)

Removals and backward incompatible breaking changes

• Removed support 3986#section-3.2.3 port normalization when the scheme is not one of http, https, wss, or ws – by @bdraco.

  Support for port normalization was recently added in #1033 and contained code that would do blocking I/O if the scheme was not one of the four listed above. The code has been removed because this library is intended to be safe for usage with asyncio.

  Related issues and pull requests on GitHub: #1076.

Miscellaneous internal changes

• Improved performance of property caching – by @bdraco.

  The reify implementation from aiohttp was adapted to replace the internal cached_property implementation.

  Related issues and pull requests on GitHub: #1070.

---

1.9.6

(2024-08-30)

Bug fixes

• Reverted 3986 compatible URL.join()() honoring empty segments which was introduced in #1039.

  This change introduced a regression handling query string parameters with joined URLs. The change was reverted to maintain compatibility with the previous behavior.

  Related issues and pull requests on GitHub: #1067.

---

1.9.5

(2024-08-30)

Bug fixes

• Joining URLs with empty segments has been changed to match 3986.

  Previously empty segments would be removed from path, breaking use-cases such as

  URL("https://web.archive.org/web/") / "https://github.com/"

  Now / operation() and URL.joinpath()() keep empty segments, but do not introduce new empty segments. e.g.

  URL("https://example.org/") / ""

  does not introduce an empty segment.

  – by @commonism and @youtux

  Related issues and pull requests on GitHub: #1026.

• The default protocol ports of well-known URI schemes are now taken into account during the normalization of the URL string representation in accordance with 3986#section-3.2.3.

  Specified ports are removed from the str representation of a ~yarl.URL if the port matches the scheme’s default port – by @commonism.

  Related issues and pull requests on GitHub: #1033.

• URL.join()() has been changed to match 3986 and align with / operation() and URL.joinpath()() when joining URLs with empty segments. Previously urllib.parse.urljoin was used, which has known issues with empty segments (python/cpython#84774).

  Due to the semantics of URL.join()(), joining an URL with scheme requires making it relative, prefixing with ./.

Removals and backward incompatible breaking changes

• Stopped decoding %2F (/) in URL.path, as this could lead to code incorrectly treating it as a path separator – by @Dreamsorcerer.

  Related issues and pull requests on GitHub: #1057.

• Dropped support for Python 3.7 – by @Dreamsorcerer.

  Related issues and pull requests on GitHub: #1016.

Improved documentation

• On the Contributing docs page, a link to the Towncrier philosophy has been fixed.

  Related issues and pull requests on GitHub: #981.

• The pre-existing / magic method() has been documented in the API reference – by @commonism.

  Related issues and pull requests on GitHub: #1026.

Packaging updates and notes for downstreams

• A flaw in the logic for copying the project directory into a temporary folder that led to infinite recursion when TMPDIR was set to a project subdirectory path. This was happening in Fedora and its downstream due to the use of pyproject-rpm-macros. It was only reproducible with pip wheel and was not affecting the pyproject-build users.

  – by @hroncok and @webknjaz

  Related issues and pull requests on GitHub: #992, #1014.

• Support Python 3.13 and publish non-free-threaded wheels

  Related issues and pull requests on GitHub: #1054.

Contributor-facing changes

• The CI/CD setup has been updated to test arm64 wheels under macOS 14, except for Python 3.7 that is unsupported in that environment – by @webknjaz.

  Related issues and pull requests on GitHub: #1015.

• Removed unused type ignores and casts – by @hauntsaninja.

  Related issues and pull requests on GitHub: #1031.

Miscellaneous internal changes

• port, scheme, and raw_host are now cached_property – by @bdraco.

  aiohttp accesses these properties quite often, which cause urllib to build the _hostinfo property every time. port, scheme, and raw_host are now cached properties, which will improve performance.

  Related issues and pull requests on GitHub: #1044, #1058.

1.9.4 (2023-12-06)

Bug fixes

• Started raising TypeError when a string value is passed into yarl.URL.build() as the port argument – by @commonism.

  Previously the empty string as port would create malformed URLs when rendered as string representations. (#883)

Packaging updates and notes for downstreams

• The leading -- has been dropped from the PEP 517 in-tree build backend config setting names. --pure-python is now just pure-python – by @webknjaz.

  The usage now looks as follows:

  $ python -m build \
      --config-setting=pure-python=true \
      --config-setting=with-cython-tracing=true

  (#963)

Contributor-facing changes

• A step-by-step Release Guide guide has been added, describing how to release yarl – by @webknjaz.

  This is primarily targeting maintainers. (#960)

• Coverage collection has been implemented for the Cython modules – by @webknjaz.

  It will also be reported to Codecov from any non-release CI jobs.

  To measure coverage in a development environment, yarl can be installed in editable mode:

  $ python -Im pip install -e .

  Editable install produces C-files required for the Cython coverage plugin to map the measurements back to the PYX-files.

  #961

• It is now possible to request line tracing in Cython builds using the with-cython-tracing PEP 517 config setting – @webknjaz.

  This can be used in CI and development environment to measure coverage on Cython modules, but is not normally useful to the end-users or downstream packagers.

  Here’s a usage example:

  $ python -Im pip install . --config-settings=with-cython-tracing=true

  For editable installs, this setting is on by default. Otherwise, it’s off unless requested explicitly.

  The following produces C-files required for the Cython coverage plugin to map the measurements back to the PYX-files:

  $ python -Im pip install -e .

  Alternatively, the YARL_CYTHON_TRACING=1 environment variable can be set to do the same as the PEP 517 config setting.

  #962

1.9.3 (2023-11-20)

Bug fixes

• Stopped dropping trailing slashes in yarl.URL.joinpath() – by @gmacon. (#862, #866)

• Started accepting string subclasses in yarl.URL.__truediv__() operations (URL / segment) – by @mjpieters. (#871, #884)

• Fixed the human representation of URLs with square brackets in usernames and passwords – by @mjpieters. (#876, #882)

• Updated type hints to include URL.missing_port(), URL.__bytes__() and the encoding argument to yarl.URL.joinpath() – by @mjpieters. (#891)

Packaging updates and notes for downstreams

• Integrated Cython 3 to enable building yarl under Python 3.12 – by @mjpieters. (#829, #881)

• Declared modern setuptools.build_meta as the PEP 517 build backend in pyproject.toml explicitly – by @webknjaz. (#886)

• Converted most of the packaging setup into a declarative setup.cfg config – by @webknjaz. (#890)

• The packaging is replaced from an old-fashioned setup.py to an in-tree PEP 517 build backend – by @webknjaz.

  Whenever the end-users or downstream packagers need to build yarl from source (a Git checkout or an sdist), they may pass a config_settings flag --pure-python. If this flag is not set, a C-extension will be built and included into the distribution.

  Here is how this can be done with pip:

  $ python -m pip install . --config-settings=--pure-python=false

  This will also work with -e | --editable.

  The same can be achieved via pypa/build:

  $ python -m build --config-setting=--pure-python=false

  Adding -w | --wheel can force pypa/build produce a wheel from source directly, as opposed to building an sdist and then building from it. (#893)

  Attention!

  v1.9.3 was the only version using the --pure-python setting name. Later versions dropped the -- prefix, making it just pure-python.

• Declared Python 3.12 supported officially in the distribution package metadata – by @edgarrmondragon. (#942)
