The guidelines https://url.spec.whatwg.org/#host-parsing make a lot of sense to me. Python should refuse hostnames with "[" unless * the hostname starts with "[" * the hostname ends with "]" * the string between [] is a valid IPv6 address (full or shortened, without or with correctly quoted scope id) Python should refuse any hostname with forbidden chars "\x00\n\r #%/:?@", too.
