Better way to sift parts of URL . . .

[Ben Wilson]

Sorry.

I'm writing a python script that retrieves source contents of a wiki
page, edits, and re-posts changed content. The wiki breaks pages into
groups and pages (e.g. ThisGroup/ThisPage). The sections that are
camel cased (or otherwise contain title case) are the group and page
for a given page. When a url is passed that is incomplete (i.e., has
the base URL and the Group, or only the base URL), the wiki resorts to
defaults (e.g. a base URL and Group would return the default page for
that group, and a bare URL returns the base page for the base group).

I'm playing with urlparse now. Looks like I can do the same thing in a
lot fewer steps. I'll post results.
