You don t need fancy things  just see the string methods in the standard library and you can easily split your url between  filename  part and the rest   url rsplit      1    So you can get the part you re interested in simply with   url rsplit      1  -1

urlparse is fine to use if you want to  say  to get rid of any query string parameters    import urllib parse  urls          http   www test com TEST1        http   www test com page TEST2        http   www test com page page 12345        http   www test com page page 12345 abc 123     for i in urls      url parts   urllib parse urlparse i      path parts   url parts 2  rpartition          print  URL     nreturns     n  format i  path parts 2      Output   URL  http   www test com TEST1 returns  TEST1  URL  http   www test com page TEST2 returns  TEST2  URL  http   www test com page page 12345 returns  12345  URL  http   www test com page page 12345 abc 123 returns  12345

Use urlparse to get just the path and then split the path you get from it on   characters  from urllib parse import urlparse  my url    quot http   example com some path last somequery param quot  last path fragment   urlparse my url  path split      -1     returns  last   Note  if your url ends with a   character  the above will return     i e  the empty string   If you want to handle that case differently  you need to strip the trailing   character before you split the path  my url    quot http   example com last  quot    handle URL ending in     by removing it  last path fragment   urlparse my url  path rstrip      split      -1     returns  last
