Cheryl Sabella added the comment: Issue 16285 updated the urllib.parse.quote() reserved list to add '~'.
>From the docstring: def quote(string, safe='/', encoding=None, errors=None): """quote('abc def') -> 'abc%20def' Each part of a URL, e.g. the path info, the query, etc., has a different set of reserved characters that must be quoted. RFC 3986 Uniform Resource Identifiers (URI): Generic Syntax lists the following reserved characters. reserved = ";" | "/" | "?" | ":" | "@" | "&" | "=" | "+" | "$" | "," | "~" Each of these characters is reserved in some component of a URL, but not necessarily in all of them. Python 3.7 updates from using RFC 2396 to RFC 3986 to quote URL strings. Now, "~" is included in the set of reserved characters. -------------------------------------------- However, looking at RFC3986 (https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3986), appendix A has the following: unreserved = ALPHA / DIGIT / "-" / "." / "_" / "~" reserved = gen-delims / sub-delims gen-delims = ":" / "/" / "?" / "#" / "[" / "]" / "@" sub-delims = "!" / "$" / "&" / "'" / "(" / ")" / "*" / "+" / "," / ";" / "=" ---------------------------------------------------- Should the missing ones be added or should this issue be closed if they aren't going to be added? Thanks. ---------- nosy: +csabella _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue12910> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
