# Hyperlink
*Cool URLs that don't change.*
Hyperlink provides a pure-Python implementation of immutable
URLs. Based on RFC 3986 and 3987, the Hyperlink URL makes working with
both URIs and IRIs easy.
Hyperlink is tested against Python 2.7, 3.4, 3.5, and PyPy.
Full documentation is available on [Read the Docs](#).
## Installation
Hyperlink is a pure-Python package and requires nothing but
Python. The easiest way to install is with pip:
```
pip install hyperlink
```
Then, hyperlink away!
```python
from hyperlink import URL
url = URL.from_text('http://github.com/mahmoud/hyperlink?utm_souce=README')
utm_source = url.get('utm_source')
better_url = url.replace(scheme='https')
user_url = better_url.click('..')
```
See the full API docs [here](#).
## More information
Hyperlink would not have been possible without the help of
[Glyph Lefkowitz](#) and many other community members, especially
considering that it started as an extract from the Twisted networking
library. Thanks to them, Hyperlink's URL has been production-grade for
well over a decade.
