+Alternatives

+- `rfc3987 <https://pypi.python.org/pypi/rfc3987/1.3.4>`_
+
+  This is a direct competitor to this library, with extra features,
+  licensed under the GPL.
+
+- `uritools <https://pypi.python.org/pypi/uritools/0.5.1>`_
+
+  This can parse URIs in the manner of RFC 3986 but provides no validation and
+  only recently added Python 3 support.
+
+- Standard library's `urlparse`/`urllib.parse`
+
+  The functions in these libraries can only split a URI (valid or not) and
+  provide no validation.
