SF seems to be down for some unscheduled reason. Posting here just so I don't completely forget about it should I exit my web browser before SF is back up...
urllib2.urlopen("http://foo@www.python.org/") fails (at least in part) because it fails to separate the username and password from the hostname. Trying to open http://foo:bar@www.python.org/ reveals other shortcomings in its url parsing. It seems to me the syntactic bits shouldn't be difficult to resolve using urllib.spluituser(). I'm much less clear what to do with the username and password once they've been separated from the hostname.
