regex to remove URL from text

I want to remove all occurrences of URL [full path, query string] from the text in Python. Any suggestions on how to do this? I am new to regex!

http://example.com/url/?x=data

This whole URL should be removed! Thanks

This previous question will get you off to a good start to match the URL, (ie. RegExLib.com) then its just a matter of the removal

This is definitely a non-trivial task assuming you want to remove any valid URL. I'd take a look at the Regex Lib page on the topic.
