The following code crashes with TypeError: URLopener().open("unknown_proxy://test") the expected behavior is an OSError, which is normally raised for unknown protocols. This implementation of directly calling a method called "unknown_proxy" is fragile and was recently the subject of a security issue: https://bugs.python.org/issue35907 (CVE-2019-9948) Would be good to make this more robust.
