Python urljoin does not join string properly if it starts with question mark

So:

from urllib.parse import urljoin
urljoin('https://abc.info', '?scurr=EUR&page=')

Result:

'https://abc.info?scurr=EUR&page='

Expected result:

'https://abc.info/?scurr=EUR&page='

How can I make it?

urllib is doing the right thing. The trailing slash (or lack thereof) is significant and those are technically different routes. It is often the case that one would rewrite them and/or handle them as though they were the same for SEO reasons.

In your example, the trailing slash is important so add it to the base URL:

urljoin('https://abc.info/', '?scurr=EUR&page=')

gives us:

https://abc.info/?scurr=EUR&page=
