I can be given a string in any of these formats:

Answer 1

Method using urllib -

    from urllib.parse import urlparse
    url = 'https://stackoverflow.com/questions'
    print(urlparse(url))

Output -

ParseResult(scheme='https', netloc='stackoverflow.com', path='/questions', params='', query='', fragment='')
