    """Given a URL path (part of a URL query string, see below), returns a
32

34

35
            found within the student directories.

37
    urlpath: Part of the URL, but only the part *after* the application. For
38
    instance, given the URL "/ivle/browse/joe/home/mydir/myfile", urlpath will
39
    be just "joe/home/mydir/myfile". The expected result is something like
40
    ("joe", "/home/informatics/jails/joe/home/joe/home/mydir/myfile").
41
    Note that the actual location is not guaranteed by this interface (this
42
    function serves as a single point of control as to how URLs map onto
43
    student directories).
44
45
    Returns (None, None) if the path is empty.
