[New-bugs-announce] [issue43871] urllib.parse.urlparse doesn't check port

[Alexei Pastuchov]

New submission from Alexei Pastuchov <info at maximka.de>:

It is possible to get valid ParseResult from the urlparse function even for a non-numeric port value. Only by requesting the port it fails[1].
Would it be an improvement if _checknetloc[2] validates the value of port properly?
