Full description
For various reasons, ``urllib.parse`` and its Python 2 predecessor
``urlparse`` are not compliant with current Internet standards. As
stated in `Lib/urllib/parse.py
<https://github.com/python/cpython/blob/3.8/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.
