opentimelineio.url_utils

Utilities for conversion between urls and file paths

opentimelineio.url_utils.filepath_from_url(urlstr)

Take an url and return a filepath.

URLs can either be encoded according to the RFC 3986 standard or not. Additionally, Windows mapped drive letter and UNC paths need to be accounted for when processing URL(s); however, there are ongoing discussions about how to best handle this within Python developer community. This function is meant to cover these scenarios in the interim.

opentimelineio.url_utils.url_from_filepath(fpath)

Convert a filesystem path to an 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”

• “subdir/thing.otio” -> “tmp/thing.otio”
