python3 setup.py sdist



This is a slightly modified version of  ​​https://pypi.org/project/rfc3986/

The main reason is that I need a simple URI class.

THe directory hierarchy was shuffled to make it work with setup.py
and a new uri.py class was added to the root of the project.
A test file uriTest.py was added to tests folder.
The doc dir was removed because setup.py seems insisting to including
it in the distri which is not what we want. 

pip install https://tracinsy.ewi.tudelft.nl/pubtrac/Utilities/export/237/uri/dist/uri-1.0.0.tar.gz

Below the original readme from rfc3986. You don't need it and can ignore it.


rfc3986
=======

A Python implementation of `RFC 3986`_ including validation and authority 
parsing.

Installation
------------

Use pip to install ``rfc3986`` like so::

    pip install rfc3986

Example Usage
-------------

The following are the two most common use cases envisioned for ``rfc3986``.

Replacing ``urlparse``
``````````````````````

To parse a URI and receive something very similar to the standard library's
``urllib.parse.urlparse``

.. code-block:: python

    from rfc3986 import urlparse

    ssh = urlparse('ssh://user@git.openstack.org:29418/openstack/glance.git')
    print(ssh.scheme)  # => ssh
    print(ssh.userinfo)  # => user
    print(ssh.params)  # => None
    print(ssh.port)  # => 29418

To create a copy of it with new pieces you can use ``copy_with``:

.. code-block:: python

    new_ssh = ssh.copy_with(
        scheme='https'
        userinfo='',
        port=443,
        path='/openstack/glance'
    )
    print(new_ssh.scheme)  # => https
    print(new_ssh.userinfo)  # => None
    # etc.

Strictly Parsing a URI and Applying Validation
``````````````````````````````````````````````

To parse a URI into a convenient named tuple, you can simply:

.. code-block:: python

    from rfc3986 import uri_reference

    example = uri_reference('http://example.com')
    email = uri_reference('mailto:user@domain.com')
    ssh = uri_reference('ssh://user@git.openstack.org:29418/openstack/keystone.git')

With a parsed URI you can access data about the components:

.. code-block:: python

    print(example.scheme)  # => http
    print(email.path)  # => user@domain.com
    print(ssh.userinfo)  # => user
    print(ssh.host)  # => git.openstack.org
    print(ssh.port)  # => 29418

It can also parse URIs with unicode present:

.. code-block:: python

    uni = uri_reference(b'http://httpbin.org/get?utf8=\xe2\x98\x83')  # ☃
    print(uni.query)  # utf8=%E2%98%83

With a parsed URI you can also validate it:

.. code-block:: python

    if ssh.is_valid():
        subprocess.call(['git', 'clone', ssh.unsplit()])

You can also take a parsed URI and normalize it:

.. code-block:: python

    mangled = uri_reference('hTTp://exAMPLe.COM')
    print(mangled.scheme)  # => hTTp
    print(mangled.authority)  # => exAMPLe.COM

    normal = mangled.normalize()
    print(normal.scheme)  # => http
    print(mangled.authority)  # => example.com

But these two URIs are (functionally) equivalent:

.. code-block:: python

    if normal == mangled:
        webbrowser.open(normal.unsplit())

Your paths, queries, and fragments are safe with us though:

.. code-block:: python

    mangled = uri_reference('hTTp://exAMPLe.COM/Some/reallY/biZZare/pAth')
    normal = mangled.normalize()
    assert normal == 'hTTp://exAMPLe.COM/Some/reallY/biZZare/pAth'
    assert normal == 'http://example.com/Some/reallY/biZZare/pAth'
    assert normal != 'http://example.com/some/really/bizzare/path'

If you do not actually need a real reference object and just want to normalize
your URI:

.. code-block:: python

    from rfc3986 import normalize_uri

    assert (normalize_uri('hTTp://exAMPLe.COM/Some/reallY/biZZare/pAth') ==
            'http://example.com/Some/reallY/biZZare/pAth')

You can also very simply validate a URI:

.. code-block:: python

    from rfc3986 import is_valid_uri

    assert is_valid_uri('hTTp://exAMPLe.COM/Some/reallY/biZZare/pAth')

Requiring Components
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

You can validate that a particular string is a valid URI and require
independent components:

.. code-block:: python

    from rfc3986 import is_valid_uri

    assert is_valid_uri('http://localhost:8774/v2/resource',
                        require_scheme=True,
                        require_authority=True,
                        require_path=True)

    # Assert that a mailto URI is invalid if you require an authority
    # component
    assert is_valid_uri('mailto:user@example.com', require_authority=True) is False

If you have an instance of a ``URIReference``, you can pass the same arguments
to ``URIReference#is_valid``, e.g.,

.. code-block:: python

    from rfc3986 import uri_reference

    http = uri_reference('http://localhost:8774/v2/resource')
    assert uri.is_valid(require_scheme=True,
                        require_authority=True,
                        require_path=True)

    # Assert that a mailto URI is invalid if you require an authority
    # component
    mailto = uri_reference('mailto:user@example.com')
    assert uri.is_valid(require_authority=True) is False

Alternatives
------------

- `rfc3987 <https://pypi.python.org/pypi/rfc3987/1.3.4>`_

  This is a direct competitor to this library, with extra features,
  licensed under the GPL.

- `uritools <https://pypi.python.org/pypi/uritools/0.5.1>`_

  This can parse URIs in the manner of RFC 3986 but provides no validation and
  only recently added Python 3 support.

- Standard library's `urlparse`/`urllib.parse`

  The functions in these libraries can only split a URI (valid or not) and
  provide no validation.
