Hi Alex,
For a few years now I've been using Fourthought's libraries for parsing 
URLs and they've performed beautifully. In the code comments, they state 
that urlparse() and friends exhibit some non-RFCish behavior, hence the 
inspiration for writing their own libraries. 

If I remember correctly, the file you want is uri.py and it is in 4Suite 
which you can download from here:
