url2pathname() doesn't handle URL query or fragment components #136874
Description
Bug report
Bug description:
urllib.request.url2pathname() incorrectly treats URL query (?a=b&c=d) and fragment (#anchor) components as part of the URL path
>>> from urllib.request import url2pathname
>>> url2pathname('file://localhost/etc/hosts?foo=bar#badgers', require_scheme=True)
'/etc/hosts?foo=bar#badgers' # expected '/etc/hosts'I think they should be silently discarded as they have no bearing on the filesystem path (similar to how we discard the netloc if it's a local hostname).
