Here is what I came up with:
def siftUrl(s):
s = s.split('//')[1]
bits = s.split('/')
if '' in bits: bits.remove('')
if len(bits) > 1:
group = bits[-2]
page = bits[-1]
group.strip('/')
page.strip('/')
else:
group = 'test'
page = 'test'
if group == group.capitalize():
page = '/'.join([group,page])
url = '/'.join(s.split('/')[:-2]) + '/'
elif page == page.capitalize():
page = '/'.join(['Main',page])
url = '/'.join(s.split('/')[:-1]) + '/'
else:
page = '/'.join(['Main','Main'])
url = s
url = 'http://' + url
return url, page
