I’d like to point you to http://code.zacharyvoase.com/urlobject/.
You can include as much information in a URL as you like, and it's a
subclass of unicode, so it can be used directly in templates, HTTP
clients, et cetera.
You can do stuff like URLObject(host='hostname', path='/foo/bar/'), or
URLObject.parse('http://mysite.com/path/to/somewhere/').
It could be a solution. Do what you will with it.
