Senthil Kumaran <sent...@uthcode.com> added the comment: Look at the following two bugs which dwelt on similar issues: Issue8339 and Issue7904 and in one message particular, msg102737, I seem to have come to a conclusion that " I don't see that 'x://' and 'x:///y' qualifies as valid URLS as per RFC 3986" and it applies to this bug too where the url is requested as yelp:///x
Does yelp://localhost/x be a way to access in your case? That would be consistent with specification. Or in your code, you can add 'yelp' to uses_netloc list and then expect the desired behavior. from urlparse import uses_netloc uses_netloc.append('yelp') I understand that, using of the uses_netloc is a limitation, but given the requirements of both absolute and relative parsing that lists has served a useful behavior. I would like to close this one for the above mention points and open a feature request (or convert this to a feature request) which asks to remove the dependency of uses_netloc in urlparse. Does this resolution sound okay? ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue15009> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
