Demonoid.urls

class demonoid.urls.Url(base_url=None, path=None, params=None)

The Url class handles building urls with a base url, path and params. Also it makes requests to urls and builds a DOM element with lxml. It shouldn’t be used directly.

Attr:DEFAULT_BASE_URL is ‘http://www.demonoid.pw/‘. Changing it directly isn’t recommended. Instead pass a base_url parameter to Url class.
