[Python-Dev] Finally switch urllib.parse to RFC3986 semantics?

[Nick Coghlan]

For years, urlparse (and subsequently urlib.parse) has opted to
implement the semantics from the older URL processing RFCs, rather
than updating to the new semantics as the RFCs are superseded.

With RFC 3986 passing its 6th birthday, and with it being well past
its 7th by the time 3.3 comes out, can we finally switch to supporting
the current semantics rather than the obsolete behaviour?

Cheers,
Nick.
