Is there any way to create url from dictionary?

I have a dictionary how do I create url using urllib in python?

url_dict = {'scheme': 'https', 'netloc': 'example.com', 'path': '/default.jpg'}

I want the below url as returned string. 

   https://example.com/default.jpg
Solution

  • If you want it to be a bit more generic, fetching all supported fields:

    from urllib import urlunparse, ParseResult
url = urlunparse(url_dict.get(f, '') for f in ParseResult._fields)

    The attribute ParseResult._fields despite its _-prefixed, is officially supported, because ParsedResult is a namedtuple.
