Solution

  • You can use urlparse:

    >>> import urlparse
>>> url = 'https://www.yoursite.com/drive/team-real-431/pepe-ozil-R323/anyway-jim-james-hi-bye-hi-321312/;jsessionid=DBDE454034B0EE325FC100112EF2E123.56AC29295781342F53AB242D03EE33'
>>> url_parts = urlparse.urlparse(url)
>>> jsessionid = dict(urlparse.parse_qsl(url_parts.params)).get('jsessionid')
>>> print(jsessionid)
