Extract a simple URL from a command line parameter.

$ urls 'http://apple.com'

Open it in a web browser:

$ urls 'http://apple.com' --open

Look for twitter addresses:

$ urls '@schwa Hello!' --twitter
http://twitter.com/schwa

Look for URLs on standard input

$ cat somefile.text | urls

What remote urls does this git repository use?

$ urls-python$ git remote -v 
origin	https://github.com/schwa/urls-python (fetch)
origin	https://github.com/schwa/urls-python (push)

Now filter them through urls:

$ urls-python$ git remote -v | urls
https://github.com/schwa/urls-python

And copy them directory to the pasteboard

$ urls-python$ git remote -v | urls --copy
https://github.com/schwa/urls-python

python setup.py install --user
