Unfortunately, you're right. I think that the change has to do with
|
|
the changes in urllib.py regarding when to use url2pathname() and
|
|
pathname2url() -- the new policy is much more useful, but webchecker
|
|
was counting on the old policy. (The policy change is that the url
|
|
argument to open(), open_file(), open_local_file() and the like must
|
|
always be in url format.)
|
|
|
|
Below is a patch that I think makes it work, but it still requires
|
|
that you use forward slashes in the file: URL you give it. It
|
|
supports drive letters but only if you use the form "file:/D|/path";
|
|
the form "file:///D|/path" doesn't seem to work due to the way
|
|
urlparse works.
|
|
|
|
I hope someone else can continue the analysis from here...
