question: how to clare the absolute url in a html file

[dongdong]

is there any lib to help to clear the absolute url in a html file? for
example, 'http://www.sina.com/' should be clear ,but "/image/asd.gif"
should be reserved.

Built-in string-manipulation is your friend:

"abcdef/ghi".replace("abcdef", "")

to Diez B. Roggisch :
no, I won't to use this way, its efficiency is very low as I need to
replace all the '<a href="http:.//....' tags into whitespace.
I think whether there is any lib's function to do this.

Why do you think it is slow? It repelaces _all_ occurrences, in one sweep.
What do you expect to become faster?

Perhaps this is what he means:

re.sub("http://[^/]*/","/","http://palle.fi/wing/walla.htm")
'/wing/walla.htm'
