Summary: urllib2: urlopen unicode problem
Initial Comment:
It seems like urlopen doesn't like unicode strings
for urls:
Python 2.1.1 (#1, Jul 23 2001, 22:08:25)
[GCC 2.96 20000731 (Red Hat Linux 7.1 2.96-81)] on
linux2
Type "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more
information.
>>> import urllib2
>>> url = u"http://www.yahoo.com"
>>> urllib2.urlopen(url)
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
File
"/home/john/python-install/lib/python2.1/urllib2.py",
line 135, in urlopen
return _opener.open(url, data)
File
"/home/john/python-install/lib/python2.1/urllib2.py",
line 310, in open
assert isinstance(req, Request) # really only
care about interface
AssertionError
One fix which seems to work is to add:
or type(fullurl) == types.UnicodeType
to the if on line 303 (Matrix!!!) of urllib2.py.

He's right. Assigned to Jeremy. (This is trivial, but I'd
like you to look it over.)
(Note to Jeremy: I'm not quite comfortable with all the
isinstance() checks in your code. I'm afraid that some of
these are already broken in 2.2, e.g. is_callable(). It
would be better to test for specific attributes to make the
distinctions or tests you need to make.)
