Get subdomain from URL using Python

Question

For example, the address is:

Address = http://lol1.domain.com:8888/some/page

Answer 1

What you are looking for is in: http://docs.python.org/library/urlparse.html

for example: ".".join(urlparse('http://www.my.cwi.nl:80/%7Eguido/Python.html').netloc.split(".")[:-2])

Will do the job for you (will return "www.my")
