Issue 16285 updated the urllib.parse.quote() reserved list to add '~'.
>From the docstring:
def quote(string, safe='/', encoding=None, errors=None):
"""quote('abc def') -> 'abc%20def'
Each part of a URL, e.g. the path info, the query, etc., has a
different set of reserved characters that must be quoted.
RFC 3986 Uniform Resource Identifiers (URI): Generic Syntax lists
the following reserved characters.
reserved = ";" | "/" | "?" | ":" | "@" | "&" | "=" | "+" |
"$" | "," | "~"
Each of these characters is reserved in some component of a URL,
but not necessarily in all of them.
Python 3.7 updates from using RFC 2396 to RFC 3986 to quote URL strings.
Now, "~" is included in the set of reserved characters.
--------------------------------------------
However, looking at RFC3986 (https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3986), appendix A
has the following:
unreserved = ALPHA / DIGIT / "-" / "." / "_" / "~"
reserved = gen-delims / sub-delims
gen-delims = ":" / "/" / "?" / "#" / "[" / "]" / "@"
sub-delims = "!" / "$" / "&" / "'" / "(" / ")"
/ "*" / "+" / "," / ";" / "="
----------------------------------------------------
Should the missing ones be added or should this issue be closed if they aren't
going to be added?
Thanks.
