It parses a URL string into scheme, credentials, host, subdomain, domain, TLD, port, path, query, and fragment, exposing them as attributes on a Url object. The package also provides a FaupCompat class that mimics the original Faup C library's API for backward compatibility with legacy code.\n\nThe library targets developers who need fast, reliable URL decomposition\u2014particularly in security, web scraping, or data processing pipelines where URL parsing is a frequent operation. It has no runtime dependencies and installs via pre-built wheels for most common Python and platform combinations, though source builds require a Rust toolchain.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you need fast URL parsing in Python 3.8+ and can accept GPLv3 licensing. The Rust backend, zero runtime dependencies, and broad wheel coverage make it a low-friction choice for URL decomposition tasks. The active maintenance and recent release are positive signals. Avoid if your project requires proprietary licensing or if you are already satisfied with urllib.parse's performance."},"id":"pyfaup-rs","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/pyfaup-rs","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/pyfaup-rs.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/pyfaup-rs/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2026-07-27","license_spdx":"GPL-3.0","license_treatment":"copyleft","name":"pyfaup-rs","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"Python bindings for faup-rs Rust library"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":92474,"position":13451,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"0.4.16"}
