New submission from Steven D'Aprano <[email protected]>:
The urllib.parse module contains an undocumented function unwrap:
unwrap('<URL:type://host/path>') --> 'type://host/path'
This is useful. I've been re-inventing this function in many of my scripts,
because I didn't know it existed (not documented!) and only stumbled across it
by accident today, where I see it was deprecated in #27485 but I can't see any
reason for the deprecation.
If not for the deprecation, I would certainly use this unwrap function in
preference to rolling my own.
It seems to me that this might have been a case of an over-enthusiastic change.
#27485 talks about deprecating the various split* functions, which are
officially redundant (urlparse and urlsplit are preferred) but doesn't talk
about unwrap, which is useful and (in my opinion) should have been documented
rather than deprecated.
