I've taken a look at the rest of the handlers in urllib.request and they all 
build headers consistently with email.message_from_string().

Closing as out of date.

There has been considerable rewriting of the header handling code since I filed 
this.  I would not be surprised if the issue is no longer valid.  If you want 
to double check, look for the places that the headers attribute is created in 
the various handlers.  Otherwise you can just close this as out of date.

@R. David Murray

Is this issue still valid? Running 3.6 it seems that http and ftp are 
consistent at any rate (http returns http.client.HTTPMessage and ftp returns 
email.message.Message). If it's still an issue, could you please elaborate?

[issue20911] urllib 'headers' is not a well defined data type

[R. David Murray]

New submission from R. David Murray:

Some places in the code it is an email.message.Message object.  Some places it 
is a simple dictionary.  In one place (FTP), it is a string with embedded 
newlines.

I'm not sure what should be done about this situation, but it looks like a bug 
magnet, and it makes it pretty much impossible to document the data type.
