Better way to sift parts of URL . . .

[Ben Wilson]

Here is what I came up with:

    def siftUrl(s):
        s = s.split('//')[1]
        bits = s.split('/')

        if '' in bits: bits.remove('')
        if len(bits) > 1:
            group = bits[-2]
            page = bits[-1]
            group.strip('/')
            page.strip('/')
        else:
            group = 'test'
            page = 'test'

        if group == group.capitalize():
            page = '/'.join([group,page])
            url = '/'.join(s.split('/')[:-2]) + '/'
        elif page == page.capitalize():
            page = '/'.join(['Main',page])
            url = '/'.join(s.split('/')[:-1]) + '/'
        else:
            page = '/'.join(['Main','Main'])
            url = s

        url = 'http://' + url
        return url, page
