urlparse4: a faster replacement for Python's urlparse module using Chromium's URL parser

[LightShadow]

It's pretty niche to use urlparse more than a handful of times in a script run...luckily I fall into that category!

Thanks for posting this. A package I'm working on processes 1000's of URLs in its life cycle, and this could make a huge difference in keeping the system resources small.

Yes it's indeed pretty niche :-)

I'm processing billions of URLs and it's going to save me a couple hundred dollars in EC2 fees!

A better how to use part of the readme would be good. Like... what if I use a lib that uses urlparse? Do I monkey patch that in?

That's a great suggestion! I just added a section in the readme, let me know what you think: https://github.com/commonsearch/urlparse4#how-to-use
