urllib.parse.urldefrag()

URL parsing

Cuts the fragment (the part after '#') off a URL and returns a pair: the address without the fragment and the fragment itself.

Syntax

url, fragment = urllib.parse.urldefrag(url)

The fragment is never sent to the server, so it is stripped before caching or comparing addresses. Without '#' the fragment is an empty string and the address is returned unchanged. The result is a DefragResult, so url, frag = urldefrag(u) works. The query string stays in url.

Examples

from urllib.parse import urldefrag
url, frag = urldefrag('http://h/p?q=1#sec')
print(url, frag)  # → http://h/p?q=1 sec
print(repr(urldefrag('http://h/p').fragment))  # → ''
