Bernhard Reiter <bernh...@intevation.de> added the comment: Yesterday I ran into the same problem and I agree that it should be solved, by either documenting the issue or fixing it.
As the code in https://github.com/python/cpython/blob/master/Lib/urllib/request.py#L199 still shows the branch and https://docs.python.org/3.7/library/urllib.request.html today does not hint upon it, I'm adding the Python 3.7 Version indicator. In 3.7 (dev) docs context is indicated as preferred so the situation may be a little bit better, but still not resolved. Maybe a fix should change OpenerDirector() to be able to replace or remove a handler. ---------- nosy: +ber versions: +Python 3.7 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue18543> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
