New submission from Olivier Croquette:

Some servers allow the @ character is usernames. It gives URLs like:
ftp://[EMAIL PROTECTED]@host/dir

[EMAIL PROTECTED] could for example by an email address.

I am not sure if this is RFC compliant. What's sure is that is makes
trouble with urlparse: 


>>> from urlparse import urlparse
>>> p = urlparse("ftp://[EMAIL PROTECTED]@host2/dir") 
>>> print p.username
user
>>> print p.hostname
[EMAIL PROTECTED]

By using rsplit instead of split in lib/python2.5/urlparse.py, the
problem can be solved.
