New submission from Matt Giuca <matt.gi...@gmail.com>:
urlparse contains a complete copy of the urllib.unquote function. This is
extremely nasty code duplication -- I have two patches pending on
urllib.unquote (#8135 and #8136) and I only just realised that I missed
urlparse.unquote!
The reason given for this is:
"Cannot use directly from urllib as it would create circular reference.
urllib uses urlparse methods ( urljoin)"
I don't see that as a reason for code duplication. The fix is to make a local
import of unquote in parse_qsl, like this:
def parse_qsl(qs, keep_blank_values=0, strict_parsing=0):
from urllib import unquote
I am aware that this possibly violates PEP 8 (all imports should be at the top
of the module), but I'd say this is the lesser of two evils.
A patch is attached. Commit log: "urlparse: Removed duplicate of
urllib.unquote. Replaced with a local import."
