Thanks for letting us know of a solution.

You might also be interested in Fourthought's URI library which contains 
a function called Absolutize() to do just what you're asking. It also 
claims to do a better job of parsing URIs than some of the functions in 
stock Python library. I've been using it heavily for quite a while and 
it has served me well.
