Here is an updated description of the package. ---- Description: Collection of web-related functions for Python Python module with simple, reusable functions to work with URLs, HTML, forms, and HTTP, that aren’t found in the Python standard library. . This module is used to, for example: - remove comments, or tags from HTML snippets - extract base url from HTML snippets - translate entites on HTML strings - encoding mulitpart/form-data - convert raw HTTP headers to dicts and vice-versa - construct HTTP auth header - RFC-compliant url joining - sanitize urls (like browsers do) - extract arguments from urls . The code of w3lib was originally part of the Scrapy framework but was later stripped out of Scrapy, with the aim of make it more reusable and to provide a useful library of web functions without depending on Scrapy. ----
