Passing a Windows path to urllib.parse.urlparse, without file://, makes it detect the drive as the scheme even it having '\' after the ':', which makes it completelly wrong for a url.

Probably this function shouldn't be used with non-uri paths, but it shouldn't return a result that is so wrong as this. I think at least it should return the same input string if the url doesn't start with ://.
