If I came across this code I'd want to know why they weren't using
urlparse.urlsplit()...
Right, such code can have a smell since in the case of urls, file names,
config options etc. there are specialized functions available. But I'm
not sure whether the need for removing string prefix/suffixes in general
is really so rare that we shouldn't worry to offer a simpler solution.
