How to get everything after last slash in a URL?

Question

How can I extract whatever follows the last slash in a URL in Python? For example, these URLs should return the following:

URL: http://www.test.com/TEST1
ret         


        

Answer 1

First extract the path element from the URL:

from urllib.parse import urlparse
parsed= urlparse('https://www.dummy.example/this/is/PATH?q=/a/b&r=5#asx')

and then you can extract the last segment with string functions:

parsed.path.rpartition('/')[2]

(example resulting to 'PATH')
