How to join absolute and relative urls?

I have two urls: url1 = "http://127.0.0.1/test1/test2/test3/test5.xml" url2 = "../../test4/test6.xml" How can I get an absolute url for url2?
You should use urlparse.urljoin : >>> import urlparse >>> urlparse.urljoin(url1, url2) 'http://127.0.0.1/test1/test4/test6.xml' With Python 3 (where urlparse is renamed to urllib.parse) you could use it as follows: >>> import urllib.parse >>> urllib.parse.urljoin(url1, url2) 'http://127.0.0.1/test1/test4/test6.xml'
