Summary: urllib2 and non existing local files

Initial Comment:
When trying to open local files
with urllib2 in Python 2.1 urllib2 raises
an AssertionError instead of an IOError:

>>> import urllib2
>>> f = urllib2.urlopen("I don't exist")
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
  File "/usr/local/lib/python2.1/urllib2.py", line 
135, in urlopen
    return _opener.open(url, data)
  File "/usr/local/lib/python2.1/urllib2.py", line 
316, in open
    type_ = req.get_type()
  File "/usr/local/lib/python2.1/urllib2.py", line 
220, in get_type
    assert self.type is not None, self.__original
AssertionError: I don't exist
