Pyuri

Pyuri is a lightweight open-source Python library for parsing, constructing, and manipulating Uniform Resource Identifiers (URIs) and URLs. It emphasizes RFC 3986 semantics and provides a URI-centric API intended for tasks in web development, data gathering, and networking utilities. The library exposes a parsed representation of a URI with components such as scheme, authority, path, query, and fragment, enabling developers to inspect and modify individual parts.

Key features include robust parsing of URIs, path and query normalization, and utilities for resolving relative URIs against a base URI. It supports percent-encoding and decoding, handling of IPv6 literals in the authority component, and convenient methods for joining path segments and reconstructing full URIs from components. The project aims to be interoperable with Python’s standard library while offering a focused set of URI-specific capabilities.

The API is designed to be straightforward for common use cases. Typical functionality includes parsing a string into a Uri object, modifying components, and then serializing the result back into a valid URI. Developers may also rely on helpers for parsing and building query strings, as well as utilities to normalize and compare URIs in a deterministic way. Documentation and examples accompany the project to assist integration into clients, crawlers, validators, and other URI-reliant tooling.

Distribution and maintenance notes indicate that pyuri is released via the Python Package Index and maintained in an open-source repository. The project welcomes contributions and provides guidance for setup, testing, and documentation. While it can serve as an alternative to more general-purpose URL tooling, users should assess its coverage against their specific RFC-compliance and interoperability requirements.
