# URLObject 2

URLObject is a utility class for manipulating URLs. The latest incarnation of this library builds upon the ideas of its predecessor, but aims for a clearer API, focusing on proper method names over operator overrides. It’s also being developed from the ground up in a test-driven manner, and has full Sphinx documentation.

If you’re new to this library, take a look at the quickstart. If you’re just here for reference purposes, see the API documentation.

## Installation

Install using `pip` from pypi. There are no dependencies, and the package is pure Python, tested on CPythons v2.6–3.3. (It probably works on v2.5 as well, but Travis CI no longer supports testing on v2.5.)

    pip install URLObject
