Not actually, using the namedtuple is a convenience and working
through way may help you to be generate your target url in a more
meaningful way. Also remember that we moved to namedtuple after
understanding that it is more meaningful to use that for parsed
result.  So, my vote for this proposal is -1. And if you need discuss
the strategies of how to use it, then you can ask over at python-help
or related lists.
