combine relative path with absolute path in python

Recently I need to combine a absolute link with a relative link, so I tried to hard code it but failed. After checking online, there is actually a lib in Python called urlparse that have a function to combine this kind of url. the use is also simple:

1
2
3

from urlparse import urljoin
urljoin('http://mysite.com/foo/bar/x.html', '../../images/img.png')
