Full_Name: Alex Jacobson Version: >=1.5 OS: win32 linux Submission from: (NULL) (208.36.81.99) urlparse requires that the url contain a "/" so that urlparse("http://foo.com?q=a#blah") results in ("http","foo.com?q=a#blah",....) urlparse should not require slashes in urls that have fragments or query strings.
