Senthil Kumaran <sent...@uthcode.com> added the comment: It seems to me that toBytes in urllib was introduce to restrict the allowance of urls which were sent as unicode strings. We wanted urls to be ascii strings in Python2.
http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-bugs-list/2000-November/002779.html And quoting to toBytes / to_bytes is actually the problem here, as cookielib test cases is sending a unicode character which ascii encoding fails to operate on. I am thinking that we should arrive at a solution which brings consistency and fixes any previous mistakes. In 3.3, I think, rework of to_bytes may also be a good solution, in 2.7 and 3.2, I think stephen's attached patch is in good lines. Practically, the quote is more important than the failure at toBytes by sending an unicode url. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue14826> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
