Create a base url and a relative url

base_url = 'https://www.tutorialexample.com/understand-python-zip-function-python-tutorial/'
relative_url = '/calculate-spearmans-correlation-coefficient-for-beginners-numpy-tutorial/#hello'

Convert relative url to absolute

url = urljoin(base_url, relative_url)
print (url)

The output is:
