Absolutely. But you do need experience over time to *know* if
something is deserving. Many other languages have builtin regexes -
Python proved (by not rushing to make them built in) that it wasn't
needed.

Bah. My mail client (or a previous post) may have messed up the
quoting - it seemed to me that what I was replying to was your
original comment. My apologies if it was someone else's.

I've used requests - it is indeed excellent (although I don't believe
it treats URLs as anything other than strings - if it does, I've never
used that part of it). I've not used URLObject, I'll take a look at
that (although I don't have much need for more than casual URL parsing
in my code).
