Python module with simple, reusable functions to work with URLs, HTML, forms, and HTTP, that aren’t found in the Python standard library.
This module is used to, for example:
remove comments, or tags from HTML snippets
extract base url from HTML snippets
translate entites on HTML strings
encoding mulitpart/form-data
convert raw HTTP headers to dicts and vice-versa
construct HTTP auth header
RFC-compliant url joining
sanitize urls (like browsers do)
extract arguments from urls
The code of w3lib was originally part of the Scrapy framework but was later stripped out of Scrapy, with the aim of make it more reusable and to provide a useful library of web functions without depending on Scrapy.
This is the Python 2 version of the package.
