Toshio Kuratomi <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> added the comment: Possibly. This is a change from python-2.x's urlopen() which escaped the URL automatically, though. I can see the case for having the user call an escape function themselves instead of having urlopen() perform the escape for them. However, that function would need to be written. (The present parse.quote() method only quotes correctly if only the path component is passed; there's no function to take a full URL and quote it appropriately.)
Without such a function, a whole lot of code bases will have to reinvent the wheel creating functions to parse the path out, run it through urllib.parse.quote() and then pass the result to urlib.urlopen(). _______________________________________ Python tracker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <http://bugs.python.org/issue3991> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
