[issue16932] urlparse fails at parsing "www.python.org:80/"

[Georg Brandl]

Georg Brandl added the comment:

This is not a bug: urlparse is there to parse URLs, and URLs start with an URL scheme such as "http:".

There is no way for a generic URL parser to know that "python.org:80/" is supposed to be "http://python.org:80/".
