Summary: urllib2 doesn't handle urls without a scheme

Initial Comment:
Unlike urllib, urllib2 does not handle "/path/to/file" style urls 
(without a scheme) as "file:" urls.

I'm not sure whether this is a bug per se, but if this behaviour is 
by design then urllib2 should get a pathname2url() method that 
changes a pathname to a "file:"-prefixed url. urllib.pathname2url() 
does not prefix the url, but that's fine because urllib.urlopen() 
treats urls without schemes as file: urls.
