[lxml-dev] Setting URL from lxml.html.fromstring, etc

[Ian Bicking]

There doesn't seem to be any way to set a document's URL when parsing 
the document.  E.g.:

 >>> from lxml import html
 >>> tree = html.parse('http://www.python.org')
 >>> tree.docinfo.URL
'http://www.python.org'

But the parse function doesn't really take any arguments, and the URL 
attribute is write-only.  Ideally you could do fromstring('...doc...', 
URL='location').  (Also I'm not sure why the URL shouldn't be writable.)
