If you just want to remove everything after the last / then rsplit() with an argument telling it how many times to split will do it: In [13]: url = 'http://this/is/my/url/to/parse' In [14]: url.rsplit('/', 1) Out[14]: ['http://this/is/my/url/to', 'parse'] In [15]: url.rsplit('/', 1)[0] Out[15]: 'http://this/is/my/url/to' Kent _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
