At http://bugs.python.org/issue754016, there is a discussion wherein if a URL is given in a normal way to urlparse (For e.g. urlparse('www.python.org')), it parses it as a path rather than as the net_loc component as is the comman case with browsers.
Browsers interpret it as a path, e.g., <a href="www.python.org">python.org</a> will not take you to www.python.org
There are things like email clients that detect domain names and turn them into links, but detecting links in text is quite different from anything urlparse does.
