Martin Panter added the comment: If necessary, we can add a new non_relative list, rather than changing non_hierarchical. The repository history shows that “non_hierarchical” was updated with new schemes once or twice, but has never been used since it was added to Python as “urlparse.py”.
IMAP, WAIS and Gopher URLs can have extra components added using slashes, which satisfies my idea of “hierarchical”. For IMAP, I think this is explicitly mentioned in the RFC: <https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5092#section-7>. For WAIS, the hierarchy is not arbitrary, but your resulting URL wais://f...@bar.com/newpath probably matches the wais://<host>:<port>/<database> URL form, and I am not proposing to change that behaviour. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue18828> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
