[issue19494] urllib2.HTTPBasicAuthHandler (or urllib.request.HTTPBasicAuthHandler) doesn't work with GitHub API v3 and similar

[R. David Murray]

R. David Murray added the comment:

But that introduces a new element of the API, which is an API change.  I thought the plan was to change the existing code to always send the auth when it was available.  Why would that change the API?  (Maybe it does...I haven't looked into this issue in any depth.)
