The bug here seems to me that urllib.urlopen() should not allow a relative file path like the one specified. f='./rel/path/to/file.html urllib2's behavior seems proper that it is raising an Exception. According to the RFCs the local files are to be acceessed by: file://localhost/path/to/file file:///path/to/file Both are absolute paths to the file where in the second one localhost is omitted. Let me see if urllib's urlopen be made a little stricter.

According to the RFCs the local files are to be acceessed by:

file:///path/to/file
