[New-bugs-announce] [issue10226] urlparse example is wrong

[Alexander Belopolsky]

New submission from Alexander Belopolsky <belopolsky at users.sourceforge.net>:

The following example in Doc/library/urlparse.rst is wrong

>>> urlparse('www.cwi.nl:80/%7Eguido/Python.html')
ParseResult(scheme='', netloc='', path='www.cwi.nl:80/%7Eguido/Python.html',
           params='', query='', fragment='')

In the actual output, scheme='www.cwi.nl'.

In addition, the preceding text is confusing and probably not grammatical:

"""
Otherwise, it is not possible to distinguish between netloc and path components, and would the indistinguishable component would be classified as the path as in a relative URL.
"""

Discovered while working on issue 10225.
