Éric Araujo added the comment: Even if Python 3’s text model is based on Unicode, some data formats have their own rules. There’s a long debate about whether URIs should be bytes or text; it looks like unlike web browsers, urllib/httplib don’t try to be smart with the URIs they are given but just require them to be properly formatted, i.e. not containing any space or characters that are not %-encoded.
Is the documentation clear about this behaviour? If not, it would probably be simpler to improve the documentation rather than change the behaviour. ---------- nosy: +eric.araujo _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue20559> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
