Yes, you are right. In that case, what urlparse is currently doing is same as
what browser does. :) Surprise and I had forgot this! :)

BTW, commonly when someone writes 'www.python.org', we tend to understand that
he is referring to net_loc. Is it not?
And also, when we type 'www.python.org' at Address Location in the
Browser, it automatically gets translated to http://www.python.org as the full
url and www.python.org becomes net_loc in this case. 

Should we consider this scenario?

Thanks,
Senthil
