Demian Brecht added the comment: Here's a simple patch that adds functionality matching that in http.client to urllib.request. As pointed out by John, I see no reason why urllib and http.client shouldn't have consistent handling if IDNs independent of IRIs (although IRI encoding would be a nic

R. David Murray added the comment: As I said, patches to improve the situation are welcome, and if they match with current internet practices they will likely be accepted. It is still the case that such URLs are likely to require extra work on the part of the application to deal with the othe

John Nagle added the comment: The current convention is that domains go into DNS lookup as punycode, and the port, query, and fragment fields of the URL are encoded with percent-escapes. See http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/ietf-http-wg/2011OctDec/0155.html Python needs to get with the p
