Description Gris Ge 2013-06-26 03:21:39 UTC 
Description of problem:

http://bugs.python.org/issue9374

Before patch:
=====
Python 2.6.6 (r266:84292, Oct 12 2012, 14:23:48) 
[GCC 4.4.6 20120305 (Red Hat 4.4.6-4)] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import urlparse
>>> print urlparse.urlparse('smispy+ssl://admin@emc-smi:5989?namespace=root/emc').path
?namespace=root/emc
>>> print urlparse.urlparse('smispy+ssl://admin@emc-smi:5989?namespace=root/emc').query

>>> print urlparse.urlparse('smispy+ssl://admin@emc-smi:5989?namespace=root/emc')
ParseResult(scheme='smispy+ssl', netloc='admin@emc-smi:5989', path='?namespace=root/emc', params='', query='', fragment='')
>>>
=====

After patch:
=====
>>> print urlparse.urlparse('smispy+ssl://admin@emc-smi:5989?namespace=root/emc').path

>>> print urlparse.urlparse('smispy+ssl://admin@emc-smi:5989?namespace=root/emc').query
namespace=root/emc
=====

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
python-2.6.6-36.el6.x86_64

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Check python command above
2.
3.

Actual results:
'?namespace=root/emc' is saved into urlparse.urlparse.path

Expected results:
'?namespace=root/emc' is saved into urlparse.urlparse.query

Additional info:
Please be informed, once the python patch introduced into RHEL 6, anyone who depend on 'urlparse.urlparse.path' might impact.
Please close this as not fix if this is too risky for RHEL 6.
