Bug report
Bug description:
Windows-specific regression in Python 3.14 caused by d783d7b
Some programs generate file URLs by adding a file:// prefix to a path. On Windows, this can result in URLs like file://C:/foo. Though these URLs are malformed, they were correctly handled by urllib.request.url2pathname() until 3.14.
>>> from urllib.request import url2pathname >>> url2pathname('//C:/foo') '\\\\C:\\foo' # expected 'C:\\foo'
