[issue3991] urllib.request.urlopen does not handle non-ASCII characters

[Graham Oliver]

Graham Oliver added the comment:

hello
I came across this bug when using 'ā' in a url
To get around the problem I used the 'URL encoded' version '%C4%81' instead of 'ā'
See this page

I tried using the 'puny code' for 'ā' 'xn--yda' but that didn't work
