Bug ID: 5711
Summary: Cannot clone in Python 3 due to string handling
Product: Mercurial
Version: 4.3.3
Hardware: Macintosh
OS: Mac OS
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: bug
Priority: wish
Component: Mercurial
Assignee: bugzi...@mercurial-scm.org
Reporter: ri...@gerkin.org
CC: mercurial-devel@mercurial-scm.org
# Python 2 version, succeeds
~/miniconda2/bin/hg clone https://www.neuron.yale.edu/hg/neuron/nrn
# Python 3 version, fails
~/miniconda2/bin/hg clone https://www.neuron.yale.edu/hg/neuron/nrn
The error message is:
abort: error: unknown url type: b'https
This results from the clone argument being processed as a bytes object in
Python 3, which urllib.request cannot handle.
Example in Python 3:
from urllib.request import urlopen,Request
url1 = "http://www.python.org";
url2 = b"http://www.python.org";
r1 = Request(url1)
r2 = Request(url2)
urlopen(r1) # Works
urlopen(r2) # Fails
# Easily fixed with:
r2_fixed = Request(url2.decode())
urlopen(r2_fixed)
