Summary: update urlparse to RFC 3986
Initial Comment:
urlparse implements RFC 1808. That is strongly out of
date. The most recent is RFC 3986.
Here is a text from 4Suite
# Reasons to avoid using urllib.basejoin() and
urlparse.urljoin():
# - Both are partial implementations of
long-obsolete specs.
# - Both accept relative URLs as the base, which no
spec allows.
# - urllib.basejoin() mishandles the '' and '..'
references.
# - If the base URL uses a non-hierarchical or
relative path,
# or if the URL scheme is unrecognized, the
result is not
# always as expected (partly due to issues in
RFC 1808).
# - If the authority component of a 'file' URI is
empty,
# the authority component is removed altogether.
If it was
# not present, an empty authority component is
in the result.
# - '.' and '..' segments are not always collapsed
as well as they
# should be (partly due to issues in RFC 1808).
# - Effective Python 2.4, urllib.basejoin() *is*
urlparse.urljoin(),
# but urlparse.urljoin() is still based on RFC 1808.

for examples of people wanting a better/more up-to-date
urlparse/urljoin.
