[New-bugs-announce] [issue7043] test_urllib: constructLocalFileUrl returns invalid URLs on Windows

[Sridhar Ratnakumar]

New submission from Sridhar Ratnakumar <sridharr at activestate.com>:

This error happens on Windows. The culprit seems to be the
`constructLocalFileUrl` method that is constructing invalid URLs.

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\Python26\lib\test\test_urllib.py", line 241, in test_copy
    test_support.TESTFN), second_temp)
  File "C:\Python26\lib\urllib.py", line 94, in urlretrieve
    return _urlopener.retrieve(url, filename, reporthook, data)
  File "C:\Python26\lib\urllib.py", line 238, in retrieve
    fp = self.open(url, data)
  File "C:\Python26\lib\urllib.py", line 206, in open
    return getattr(self, name)(url)
  File "C:\Python26\lib\urllib.py", line 468, in open_file
    return self.open_local_file(url)
  File "C:\Python26\lib\urllib.py", line 482, in open_local_file
    raise IOError(e.errno, e.strerror, e.filename)
