mdurl is a Python port of the JavaScript mdurl package, providing URL parsing and manipulation utilities designed for Markdown processing. It handles URL normalization and parsing tasks commonly needed when working with Markdown content, particularly in CommonMark-compliant toolchains. The package has no runtime dependencies, making it lightweight to integrate into existing projects.
The package is actively maintained and widely used (ranked 67th on PyPI by downloads). It supports Python 3.7 and later across CPython and PyPy implementations, and runs on macOS, Windows, and Linux. For detailed API documentation and usage examples, the package directs users to the upstream JavaScript repository's README.
Use it for
- Normalize and parse URLs within Markdown document processing pipelines
- Handle URL validation and manipulation in CommonMark-compliant parsers
- Extract and process links from Markdown content in documentation tools
- Support markdown-it-based Python implementations that need JavaScript-compatible URL handling
