Utilities for conversion between URLs and file paths.

opentimelineio.url_utils.filepath_from_url(urlstr)

Take a URL and return a filepath.

Handles URLs encoded per RFC 3986, Windows drive letters (file://C:/...), UNC paths (file://host/share/...), and the file://localhost/... variant.

Returns the input unchanged if it cannot be converted.

opentimelineio.url_utils.url_from_filepath(fpath)

Convert a filesystem path to a URL in a portable way.

ensures that fpath conforms to the following pattern:

if it is an absolute path, “file:///path/to/thing”
if it is a relative path, “path/to/thing”

In other words, if you pass in:

“/var/tmp/thing.otio” -> “file:///var/tmp/thing.otio”
“tmp/thing.otio” -> “tmp/thing.otio”
