How can I handle URLs in Python?

You can use the urllib library in Python to handle URLs. Would you like to see some examples?

Yes, please show me how to parse a URL.

You can use urllib.parse to parse a URL. Here's a quick example:

from urllib.parse import urlparse
url = 'https://www.example.com/path?query=1'
parsed_url = urlparse(url)
print(parsed_url)

This will give you a breakdown of the URL components.

What if I want to build a URL from components?

You can use urlunparse from the same module. Here's how:

from urllib.parse import urlunparse
components = ('https', 'www.example.com', '/path', '', 'query=1', '')
url = urlunparse(components)
print(url)

This will create a full URL from the components.
