Senthil Kumaran <sent...@uthcode.com> added the comment: Actually, I saw this as a bug with urllib.urlopen and urllib2 had exhibited proper behaviour previously. Now, both behaviour will be consistent now.
But, you are right that an *incorrect* usage of urllib.urlopen would break in 2.7.2. If we need to be lenient on that incorrect usage, then this change can be there in 3.x series, because of urllib.request.urlopen would be interface which users will be using and it can be reverted from 2.7. Personally, I am +/- 0 on reverting this in 2.7. Initially, I saw this as a bug, but later when I added tests for ValueError and checkedin, I realized that it can break some incorrect usages, as you say. ---------- status: pending -> open _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue6631> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
