[New-bugs-announce] [issue44127] urllib.parse.ParseResult._replace() does not allow replacing username, password, hostname, port

[Jamie Bliss]

New submission from Jamie Bliss <jamie at ivyleav.es>:

As it says in the title. ._replace() (inherited from namedtuple) doesn't  allow changing the generated properties.

While this is a natural consequence of how ParseResult is implemented, I would describe it as a deficiency of developer experience.

My work-around function for this is https://gist.github.com/AstraLuma/00e511feb1f619f407d07e968d69f36b
