I suspect for Demian’s 2.7 experiment, he used the older urllib.urlopen(), rather than urllib2.urlopen() as given in the original description. When I use urllib2.urlopen("http://localhost/"), I see

GET / HTTP/1.1
Accept-Encoding: identity
Host: localhost
Connection: close
User-Agent: Python-urllib/2.7

Even in the urllib (no 2) case, since it is using HTTP 1.0, I suspect not having Accept-Encoding is not such a problem.

The underlying HTTP library has always added “Accept-Encoding: identity” for HTTP 1.1 by default (https://hg.python.org/cpython/annotate/4a3e9871b41b/Lib/httplib.py#l444), so I am closing this.
