If a filename on Windows starts with \\, it is converted to a URL
which starts with ////.  If this URL is passed to urlparse.urlparse
you get a path that starts with // (and an empty netloc).  If you pass
the result back to urlparse.urlunparse, you get a URL that starts with
//, which is parsed differently by urlparse.urlparse.  The fix is to
add the (empty) netloc with accompanying slashes if the path in
urlunparse starts with //.  Do this for all schemes that use a netloc.

files exist in the current directory.

Add "Documenting Python" to the list of documents listed.

Pathnames of files on other hosts in the same domain
(\\host\path\to\file) are not translated correctly to URLs and back.
The URL should be something like file:////host/path/to/file.
Note that a combination of drive letter and remote host is not
possible.

applet-specific rsrc file we add a "Pyta" owner resource. Owner resources have both id=0 and name="Owner resource" (is this always true?).

netloc from the base url as the default netloc for the resulting url
even if the schemes differ.

Once upon a time, when the web was wild, this was a valuable hack
because some people had a URL referencing an ftp server colocated with
an http server without having the host in the ftp URL (so they could
replicate it or change the hostname easily).

More recently, after the file: scheme got added back to the list of
schemes that accept a netloc, it turns out that this caused weirdness
when joining an http: URL with a file: URL -- the resulting file: URL
would always inherit the host from the http: URL because the file:
scheme supports a netloc but in practice never has one.

There are two reasons to get rid of the old, once-valuable hack,
instead of removing the file: scheme from the uses_netloc list.  One,
the RFC says that file: uses the netloc syntax, and does not endorse
the old hack.  Two, neither netscape 4.5 nor IE 4.0 support the old
hack.

An attempt to execute grid_slaves with arguments (0,0) results in
*all* of the slaves being returned, not just the slave associated with
row 0, column 0.  This is because the test for arguments in the method
does not test to see if row (and column) does not equal None, but
rather just whether is evaluates to non-false.  A value of 0 fails
this test.

    The module cmd requires for each do_xxx command a help_xxx
    function. I think this is a little old fashioned.

    Here is a patch: use the docstring as help if no help_xxx
    function can be found.

[I'm tempted to rip out all the help_* functions from pdb, but I'll
resist it.  Any takers?  --Guido]

   Under Windows, python freeze.py -o hello hello.py
