I've fixed the problem on distribute side by catching any ValueError returned by urlparse (from 2.6 or 2.7 point of view). That said, I don't think than catching more invalid URLs in Python 2.7 should be considered as a feature. If it's a new feature then we should have an option to explicitly parse IpV6-like URLs and leave the default behavior like it was in 2.6. If not, then it should be considered as a bug fix (meaning that Python now discards more malformed URLs) and should be backported imo. IOW, I want to discard invalid URLs the same way no matter what the Python version is, because this is not a rule defined by Python, rather by some RFCs at the URL level. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue8721> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
