Martin Panter added the comment:
The current behaviour when no scheme is present is fairly sensible to me and
should not be changed to do string concatenation nor raise an exception:
>>> urljoin("//netloc/old/path", "new/path")
'//netloc/old/new/path'
I am posting urljoin-non-hier.patch as an alternative to my first patch. This
one changes urljoin() to work on any URL scheme not in the existing
“non_hierarchical” blacklist. I removed the gopher, wais, and imap schemes from
the list, and added tel, so that urljoin() continues to treat these special
cases as before. Out of the schemes mentioned in the module but missing from
uses_relative, I think non_hierarchical now has all those without directory
components: hdl, mailto, news, sip, sips, snews, tel, telnet.
However I am still not really convinced that my first urljoin-scheme.patch is a
bad idea. Do people actually use urljoin() with these schemes like mailto in
the first place?
