> Why are you adding `.as_uri()`? The API we provide accepts URIs, so whilst the example seems a little contrived, the code itself expects a URI and then calls open (making use of the ability to add open handlers). > Builtin open() calls C open(). As best I can tell the file handler is defined in urllib/request.py as file_open. This appears to do some preprocessing to remove the file scheme and (and explicitly throws an exception if there's a host that isn't localhost) before it gets to the C open(). I wondered why it didn't check if it was on windows and, if so, construct an appropriate path (since quadruple hash I don't think adheres to the URI RFC, but seems to open correctly)? ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue46654> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
