@ -48,11 +48,10 @@ The :mod:`urllib.parse` module defines the following functions:
>>> o.geturl()
'http://www.cwi.nl:80/%7Eguido/Python.html'
If the scheme value is not specified, urlparse expects the netloc value to
start with '//', following the syntax specifications from :rfc:`1808`.
Otherwise, it is not possible to distinguish between netloc and path
components, and would the indistinguishable component would be classified
as the path as in a relative URL.
Following the syntax specifications in :rfc:`1808`, urlparse recognizes
a netloc only if it is properly introduced by '//'. Otherwise the
input is presumed to be a relative URL and thus to start with
a path component.
>>> from urlparse import urlparse
>>> urlparse('//www.cwi.nl:80/%7Eguido/Python.html')
