This is now marked as a security issue but I do not understand what the problem 
is.  urllib / urllib2 are supposed to be able to open file:// style URLs, that 
was not the point of Issue11662.  

https://docs.python.org/3/library/urllib.request.html#urllib.request.URLopener

And webbrowser also supports file: URLs if the underlying browser does; again, 
that's a standard feature.

So what's the problem here?
