Check out the 'urlparse' module, in the standard library, unless for some reason you *have* to use regular expressions.

Hi,
I am trying to construct a regular expression using the re module that matches for 1. my hostname 2. absolute from the root URLs including just "/" 3. relative URLs.
Basically I want the attern to not match for URLs that are not on my host.
The following statement satisfies numbers 1 and 2, but not 3:
line =
re.sub(r'(href=")(http[s]?://'+hostname+'[/]? |/)([^"]*?)(")',r'\1\2\3'+sInfo+r'\4',line)
An improvement that also partially satisfies number 3 is
line =
re.sub(r'(href=")(http[s]?://'+hostname+'[/]?|/ |[^h][^t][^t][^p][^:][^/][^/])([^"]*?)(")',r'\1\2\3'+sInfo+r'\4',line)
This is not complete because if the relative url is less than seven characters, than it will not match.
Any suggestions?
Thanx.
