# netloc='some.subdomain.google.co.uk',
# path='',
# query='',
# fragment=''
# )
Get TLD name, ignoring the missing protocol
from tld import get_tld, get_fld
get_tld("www.google.co.uk", fix_protocol=True)
# 'co.uk'
get_fld("www.google.co.uk", fix_protocol=True)
# 'google.co.uk'

from tld import get_fld
get_fld("http://www.google.co.uk")
