The “urllib.parse” module generally follows RFC 3986, which does not allow a literal backslash in the “userinfo” part: userinfo = ( unreserved / pct-encoded / sub-delims / ":" ) unreserved = ALPHA / DIGIT / "-" / "." / "_" / "~" pct-encoded = "%" HEXDIG HEXDIG sub-delims = "!" / "$" / "&" / "'" / "(" / ")" / "" / "+" / "," / ";" / "=" The RFC does not allow a backslash in the host name, path, query or fragment either. That is why I said the URL is not valid.
