: url1 = "http://foo/a/b/c"
: url2 = "http://foo/a/b/c"
: print "Excpect: ''"
: print repr(relativePath(url1,url2))
: print ""

I would suggest to consider even a case like this:

url1 = "http://foo/a/b/images"
url2 = "http://foo/a/b/c/d/images"
print "Expect: '../../../images'"
print repr(relativePath(url1,url2))
print ""
