Existe uma biblioteca em python que funciona assim?

>>> resolvePath("http://www.asite.com/folder/currentpage.html", "anotherpage.html")
'http://www.asite.com/folder/anotherpage.html'
>>> resolvePath("http://www.asite.com/folder/currentpage.html", "folder2/anotherpage.html")
'http://www.asite.com/folder/folder2/anotherpage.html'
>>> resolvePath("http://www.asite.com/folder/currentpage.html", "/folder3/anotherpage.html")
'http://www.asite.com/folder3/anotherpage.html'
>>> resolvePath("http://www.asite.com/folder/currentpage.html", "../finalpage.html")
