If *all* you want is the first element of the path, you can get that
simply by splitting the string on / and retrieving the correct piece:

In [28]: test
Out[28]: 'https://www.localhost.org/testmodule/dev/trunk/admin/sql/mytest.sql'

In [29]: test.split('/')
Out[29]:
['https:',
 '',
 'www.localhost.org',
 'testmodule',
 'dev',
 'trunk',
 'admin',
 'sql',
 'mytest.sql']

In [30]: test.split('/')[3]
Out[30]: 'testmodule'
