[issue6193] urllib: ... IOError: ... unknown url type: 'c'

[R. David Murray]

R. David Murray <rdmurray at bitdance.com> added the comment:

Because in unix the filename starts with a '/', while in windows your
filename started with a 'C:'.  That looks like the urltype portion of a
url, and it isn't a valid one, so urllib correctly rejects it.
