Hi,
  This is my first problem with anything Python :-) and my first issue.

  Doing in the following:

  urlparse.urljoin( 'http://site.com/', '../../../../path/' )
  'http://site.com/../../../../path/'

  urlparse.urljoin( 'http://site.com/', '/path/../path/.././path/./' )
  'http://site.com/path/../path/.././path/./'

These URLs are normalized to http://site.com/path/ in both Firefox and
Google (the google spider would follow these OK)

  I think the documentation could be improved to point at the
posixpath.py normpath function and how it solves the above. I blogged a
how to:

I hope my bug report is OK. Thanks for all the code :-)
