[issue8339] urlunparse(urlparse('x://')) now returns 'x:' instead of 'x://'

[Michael Glassford]

New submission from Michael Glassford <glassfordmjg at gmail.com>:

An unfortunate side-effect of this change: 

http://svn.python.org/view/python/branches/release26-maint/Lib/urlparse.py?r1=66717&r2=78235

which was made to fix this issue: 

http://bugs.python.org/issue7904

is that urlparse.urlunparse(urlparse.urlparse('x://')) now returns 'x:' instead of 'x://', and urlparse.urlunparse(urlparse.urlparse('x:///y')) now returns 'x:/y' instead of 'x:///y'.

This behavior exists in at least Python 2.6 and 3.1, but not in 2.5.
