+ For various reasons, ``urllib.parse`` and its Python 2 predecessor
+ ``urlparse`` are not compliant with current Internet standards. As
+ stated in `Lib/urllib/parse.py
+ &lt;https://github.com/python/cpython/blob/3.8/Lib/urllib/parse.py&gt;`_:
+
+ RFC 3986 is considered the current standard and any future changes
+ to urlparse module should conform with it. The urlparse module is
+ currently not entirely compliant with this RFC due to defacto
+ scenarios for parsing, and for backward compatibility purposes,
+ some parsing quirks from older RFCs are retained.
+
+ This module aims to provide fully RFC 3986 compliant replacements for
+ the most commonly used functions found in ``urllib.parse``. It also
+ includes functions for distinguishing between the different forms of
+ URIs and URI references, and for conveniently creating URIs from their
+ individual components.
