strip string from url in Python -

input: url = http://127.0.0.1:8000/data/number/

http://127.0.0.1:8000/data/ consistent each page number.

output: number

instead of slicing url url[-4:-1], there better way it?

you can use combination of urlparse , split.

import urlparse url = "http://127.0.0.1:8000/data/number/" path = urlparse.urlparse(url).path val = path.split("/")[2] print val

this prints:

number

the output of urlparse above url

parseresult(scheme='http', netloc='127.0.0.1:8000', path='/data/number/', params='', query='', fragment='')

we utilizing path portion of tuple. split on / , take second index.
