This string coercion is unfortunate, because ``mechanize`` accepts a (mechanize-) request-object in place of a URL string here. Using a custom request object allows us to do such things as setting the REQUEST_TYPE header string, which is not possible throught the standard API.
Changeset comment:
- Remove vendor import of mechanize.
- Fix bug that caused HTTP exception tracebacks to differ between version 3.4.0 and 3.4.1.
- Workaround for bug in Python Cookie.SimpleCookie when handling unicode strings.
- Fix bug introduced in 3.4.1 that created incompatible tracebacks in doctests. This necessitated adding a patched mechanize to the source tree; patches have been sent to the mechanize project.
Not sure which of the above this coercion is trying to solve, but perhaps it could be solved in a way that didn't break the mechanize functionality.
Did this get resolved by any means? As it didn't spur any discussion at all, you might want to at least file a bug tracker issue for that problem.
