Research direction
Start by reproducing the urllib IPv6 parsing failure with special characters in a password, using the issue's Python 2.7 and 3.6 context. Trace the urllib parsing entry point and determine the expected handling of the affected address; the issue is done when valid credentials and IPv6 URLs parse correctly and a regression test covers the case.
