[issue28334] netrc does not work if $HOME is not set

[Berker Peksag]

Berker Peksag added the comment:

Thanks for the patch, Dimitri. I think this is a reasonable improvement. However, since we are changing the behavior of the netrc() class, I'm not sure this can be considered as a bug fix.

In any case, 3.3 and 3.4 are in security-fix-only mode so I'm going to remove them from the versions field.

We need two things from you to move this forward:

1. A test. It should go in Lib/test/test_netrc.py. You can use

       env = support.EnvironmentVarGuard()
       env.unset('HOME')

   to test the new behavior.

2. A CLA form. You can sign it online at https://www.python.org/psf/contrib/contrib-form/
