I have a huge list of urls that are all like this:
http://www.example.com/site/section1/VAR1/VAR2
Where VAR1 and VAR2 are the dynamic elements of the url. What I want to do is to extract from this url string only the VAR1. I've tried to use urlparse but the output look like this:
ParseResult(scheme='http', netloc='www.example.com', path='/site/section1/VAR1/VAR2', params='', query='', fragment='')

You can split the line by space. and then use the os module to get the filename from the path. For example. +1.
Source code: Lib/urllib/parse.py. This module defines a standard interface to break Uniform Resource Locator (URL) strings up in components (addressing scheme, network location, path etc.), to combine the components back into a URL string, and to convert a “relative URL” to an absolute URL given a “base URL.”
You can remember this in general. Different sections of the url can be obtained using urlparse. Here you can obtain the path by urlparse(url).path and then obtain the desired variable by split() function
>>> from urlparse import urlparse
>>> url = 'http://www.example.com/site/section1/VAR1/VAR2'
>>> urlparse(url)
ParseResult(scheme='http', netloc='www.example.com', path='/site/section1/VAR1/VAR2', params='', query='', fragment='')
>>> urlparse(url).path
'/site/section1/VAR1/VAR2'
>>> urlparse(url).path.split('/')[-2]
'VAR1'
