flexible URL datatype for Python mxURL provides a new easy to use, fast and light-weight builtin datatype URL for storing and manipulating Universal Resource Locators (URLs), as well as a few helpers related to URL building, encoding and decoding. The new type supports the common tasks of URL joining and gives direct access to the various URL components. It also provides methods for rebuilding URLs, e.g. replacing the host or just the scheme in an existing URL. All this is coded in C to give you the fastest possible performance for these everyday web application operations.
