localhost() returns a string and thishost() returns tuple. In urllib/request.py, for file:// protocol, there is a verification to check to if the host is in the localhost and check happens:

socket.gethostbyname(host) in (localhost() + thishost())):

This is clearly wrong for the above mentioned reason. It should be changed to this, wrapping localhost with tuple() or making localhost return a tuple, which will be consistent with thishost

socket.gethostbyname(host) in (tuple(localhost()) + thishost())):

This is wrong too.

>>> tuple('abc')
('a', 'b', 'c')

Use ((localhost(),) + thishost()))

Serhiy: Yes. I stand corrected. That snippet suggestion was my mistake.
I think, wrapping the test is better than changing the return of localhost. It would always return a single value. Thanks.

Ok, I realized the mistake. 'file://localhost' + tmpfile is getting
expanded to 'file://localhostc:\something\..'
Yeah, the final '/' missing was the problem.

tmp_file.replace(...) is be better too, initial unwrap was encoding /
and  url2pathname to //. replacing path sep with '/' would be better.

Thanks for the suggestion, Serhiy.

Buildbot still failing, but due to different reason.

PermissionError: [WinError 32] The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process: 'c:\\users\\buildbot\\appdata\\local\\temp\\tmpwwvqao'

http://buildbot.python.org/all/builders/AMD64%20Windows7%20SP1%203.x/builds/862/steps/test/logs/stdio

fixing.
