As far as I see, it would be sufficient to add unquote(passed) to _open_generic_http. Regarding unittests instead, there is already a method called test_userpass_inurl which could be extended with some tests on a password containing spaces ( Lib/test/test_urllib.py:263). But what I haven't yet understood is: does it really exists a user:pass in python.org?
