Sorry, something went wrong.
… bytes (pythonGH-155239) "python -m pydoc -w" and the pydoc HTTP server failed with UnicodeEncodeError. The file URL is now created with urllib.request.pathname2url(), which percent-encodes the path using the filesystem encoding, and characters unencodable in the generated UTF-8 page are escaped with backslashes.

This is a little complicated. pathname2url() was fixed in #85168 only on Posix. Then #125866 deprecated nturl2path and stopped using nturl2path.pathname2url() in favor of general implementation in 3.14. This is why the test was passed on 3.14+. Applying the similar fix on nturl2path.pathname2url() and backporting it will fix the test. |
