I am having a simple doubt.. I am trying to join three parts of a string using urljoin..
host = "http://foo.com:port"
ver = "/v1"
exten = "/path"
Rather than doing host+ver+exten, I want to use urljoin to generate url
But urljoin is giving
http://foo.com:poort/v1 ( if i try urljoin(host,ver,exten) )
Here's one way to do it on linux(python 2.x):
import urlparse
import os
def url_join(host, version, *additional_path):
return urlparse.urljoin(host, os.path.join(version, *additional_path))
and then call this function like:
>> url_join("http://example.com:port", "v1", "path1", "path2", "path3")
>> 'http://example.com:port/v1/path1/path2/path3
The way urljoin works is by combining a base URL and another URL. You could try joining the relative paths together with simple string combinations, and then use urljoin to join the host and the combined relative path.
Like:
rel = ver + exten
url = urljoin(host, rel)
Sadly if you want to combine multiple URL paths, you will have to use another library. If you're using a non-Windows machine, you could use the os.path module to join them together just like you would combine a local file path.
You can also join your list of parts recursively:
def urljoin(parts):
if len(parts) > 1:
parts = [urllib.parse.urljoin(parts[0], parts[1])] + parts[2:]
return urljoin(parts)
return parts[0]
Use the function like this:
parts = [

]
print(urljoin(parts))

Note that urllib.parse.urljoin() has a bit different behavior than os.path.join() mentioned by @AnukuL.
You could use the str.join function, as suggested in this other answer:
url = urljoin('http://example.com:port', '/'.join(['v1','path']))
If the path segments contains one or more slash /, use str.strip first:
path='/'.join(map(lambda s: s.strip('/'), ["/v1", "/path"]))
url = urljoin('http://example.com:port', path)
