validate a https URL in python without regular expressions

Question

I am trying to validate a URL from my input's which needs to validate whether it is https or not. I see many solutions with regex, urlparser, urllib

I tried different modules in python like validator-collection

validators.url.url(value, public=False)
url('http://foobar.dk') - returns True or False
is_url('https://foobar.dk') - returns True or False

but this tells me for both http and https, I want to throw an error for any URL other than "https". Is there any module to validate only https URL's in python?

Can you add a second check?

if not my_url.startswith("https"):
    raise ValueError(f"URL {my_url} does not starts with https")

I can do that, but is that the right way?

given the constraints I'm guessing it's quite alright. If you want a better solution, I'd go with urllib.parse and check for the scheme attribute.
