get site name from a URL in python
<p>I am new to Python and it seems to have a lot of nice functions that I don't know about. What function can I use to get the root site name? For example, how would I get <em>faqs.org</em> if I gave the function the URL "<a href="http://ttp://www.faqs.org/docs/diveintopython/kgp_commandline.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.faqs.org/docs/diveintopython/kgp_commandline.html</a>"?</p>
