There was a bug in the workaround:
if not ( scheme == 'file' and not netloc and url[0] != '/'):

The {{{and url[0] != '/'}}} was missing (above is corrected)
The effect
New submission from albert Mietus alb...@mietus.nl:
The functions urlparse.url{,un}split() and urllib{,2}.open() do not work
together for relative, local files, due a bug in urlunsplit.
Given a file f='./rel/path/to/file.html' it can be open directly by
urllib.open(f), but not in urllib2
