Toshio Kuratomi <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> added the comment: The purpose of such a function would be to take something that is not a valid uri but 1) is a common way of expressing the way to get to the resource and 2) follows certain rules and turns that into something that is a valid uri. non-ASCii strings in the path are a good example of this since there is a well defined method to encode the strings into the URL if you are given a character encoding to apply to it.
My first, naive thought is that if the input can be parsed by urlparse(), then there is a very good chance that we have the ability to escape the string properly. Looking at the invalid uri that I gave, for instance, if you additionally specified an encoding for the path element there's no reason a function couldn't do the escaping. What are example inputs that you are concerned about? I'll see if I can come up with code that works with them. _______________________________________ Python tracker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <http://bugs.python.org/issue3991> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
