Port of Django's urlize

[Lukas0907]

Hi,

it would be awesome to have a port of Django's urlize (https://github.com/django/django/blob/master/django/utils/html.py#L236) in w3lib.

urlize creates clickable links, i.e. <a href="https://example.com>https://example.com</a> out of every URL detected in a string.

Cheers,

Lukas

Hi @Lukas0907 , I do not really see when this can be used.
What's your use case?
Can you detail why having this functionality in w3lib would be better than using Django's version?

Hi,

I wanted to use that functionality without adding a dependency to Django.
However, I already found https://github.com/mozilla/bleach which provides that functionality.

Cheers,

Lukas

Nice!
Closing the issue then.
