Bug report
Bug description:
On Windows, urllib.request.pathname2url() raises OSError when given a path with a colon in any position other than the second character. This excludes paths with NTFS alternate data streams, which are valid in other path-processing functions (e.g. in os.path and pathlib):
>>> from urllib.request import pathname2url >>> pathname2url(r'C:\foo:bar') OSError: Bad path: C:/foo:bar # expected: ///C:/foo%3Abar >>> pathname2url(r'foo:bar') OSError: Bad path: foo:bar # expected: foo%3Abar
