Is there a better way to write this URL Manipulation in Python?
- by dnolen
I'm curious if there's a simpler way to remove a particular parameter from a url. What I came up with is the following. This seems a bit verbose. Libraries to use or a more pythonic version appreciated.
parsed = urlparse(url)
if parsed.query != "":
params = dict([s.split("=") for s in parsed.query.split("&")])
if params.get("page"):
del params["page"]
url = urlunparse((parsed.scheme,
None,
parsed.path,
None,
urlencode(params.items()),
parsed.fragment,))
parsed = urlparse(url)
