Thanks for the report. Point 2 is definitely a bug (and an overlook by me), I
will fix it.
I think, the url[:2] == '//' check was present for ftp case which supported
file:// protocol. I can't see a clear requirement to change here.
The scenarios you encounter when giving a two different paths are interesting
because, in one the path stat('/invalid/path') and in the other it is the path
'/' that is stat and only late is the hostname verified if it coming from
localhost
(http://hg.python.org/cpython/file/ddfcaeb1c56b/Lib/urllib/request.py#l1353).
Since both presence of file locally and then ensuring the host is localhost
needs to be done, the current order gives faster failures for most common
use-cases.
