- basejoin('some/url', '#name') would strip the last component of
some/url and resturn some/#name.
- basejoin('file.html', 'relative/path') would return something like
file:/relative/path, making a relative path into an absolute one.
These bugs are fixed by some drastic changes. No scheme is added when
none is present (i.e. it works as replacement for posix.joinpath).
If a scheme is present in the second argument, it is returned
unprocessed. No hostname are added in this case. If no scheme is
present, the scheme of the first argument, if present, is used.
The algorithm is commented profusely.
Also fixed a typo in a comment.
urllib.py: '+' is not always safe (even though the RFC says so :-( )
whrandom.py: throw away top bits of time to avoid overflow on Mac
(where times can be negative)
* Lib/macpath.py: don't return trailing colon for dirname()
(XXX won't do for volume names -- but otherwise glob(':*:*.py')
loops forever)
* Lib/traceback.py: print SyntaxError correctly
* Lib/stat.py: moved to posixstat.py; added macstat.py which has
the constants for the Mac; and created new stat.py which includes
the right one
* Lib/urllib.py: fix caching bug (by disabling the cache)
