One way to verify the accuracy of a URL in Python is to use the validators library. This library provides built-in functions to check if a URL is valid, regardless of whether it is malformed or not.

To use the validators library, you can install it with pip:

pip install validators

Once you have installed the library, you can use the built-in url function to check if a URL is valid:

import validators

url = "http://example.com"
if validators.url(url):
    print("URL is valid")
else:
    print("URL is invalid")

The url function will return True if the URL is valid and False otherwise. If you want to check for other types of URLs, such as email addresses or IP addresses, you can use the other functions provided by the validators library. So, this is a reliable way to verify the accuracy of a URL.
