Hello,

I'm using the module urlparse and I think I've found a bug in the urlparse module. When you merge an url and a link like"../../../page.html" with urljoin, the new url created keep some "../" in it. Here is an example :

import urlparse begin = "http://www.example.com/folder/page.html" end = "../../../otherpage.html" urlparse.urljoin(begin, end) 'http://www.example.com/../../otherpage.html'

I would more expect the following url : http://www.example.com/otherpage.html

It's what is done in most web browser.

So I would like to know if it's a bug or not. If it is, I would try to code and to submit a patch.
