[New-bugs-announce] [issue7904] urllib.urlparse mishandles novel schemes

[mARK]

New submission from mARK <python.mbloore at xoxy.net>:

urlparse.urlsplit('s3://example/files/photos/161565.jpg')
returns
('s3', '', '//example/files/photos/161565.jpg', '', '')
instead of
('s3', 'example', '/files/photos/161565.jpg', '', '')

according to rfc 3986 's3' is a valid scheme name, so the '://' indicates a URL with netloc and path parts.
