It was not just for the host being called ftp.example.com It was for a pattern that file:/// is local file (correct) and file://localhost/somepath is again local file (correct again) but file://anyhost.domain/file.txt is actually ftp (pretty weird). > Do you have a url for the bug report? http://bugs.python.org/issue8801 Don't go into the suggestion in the report, but just notice that file url lead to an ftp error exception. -- Senthil _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
