This module defines RFC 3986 compliant replacements for the most commonly used functions of the Python 2.7 Standard Library urlparse and Python 3 urllib.parse modules.

For various reasons, the Python 2 urlparse module is not compliant with current Internet standards, does not include Unicode support, and is generally unusable with proprietary URI schemes. Python 3's urllib.parse improves on Unicode support, but the other issues still remain.

This module aims to provide fully RFC 3986 compliant replacements for some commonly used functions found in urlparse and urllib.parse, plus additional functions for conveniently composing URIs from their individual components.
