gh-133448: Fix test_file in test_urllib2 on Windows with a longer repo path

[aisk]

Before this PR, the url would become something like file://somerandomhost.ontheinternet.comC:\Users\xxxxx\Source\cpython\build\test_python_worker_4676æ/@test_4676_tmpæ on Windows, which would fail (more details in the linked issue).

In this PR, the url becomes file://somerandomhost.ontheinternet.com/Users/xxxxx/Source/cpython/build/test_python_worker_4676æ/@test_4676_tmpæ, which is valid and expected.

• Issue: test_file failed on Windows with a longer repo path in test_urllib2 #133448

@sharktide Thanks for noticing, updated!

I know this is kinda a stupid question, but have you tested this new version of your test script on a windows long path? (I know people who wouldn't not saying its you just trying to expedite the core review process then) :)

*GitHub Actions won't fail because it is a short path.

Sorry I just missed this. This bug is found on my local machine with a longer checkout path, and after this change it has been fixed.

I think it’s good! Looking forward to see this being rolled out after a core review! ( I’m especially interested because I use windows too and am thinking of turning my old pc into a python server)

This test tries to create two invalid file URLs: with a port after "localhost", and with random internet host. It does not work correctly on Windows, but the fix is not correct either. The drive name should not be ignored, and some escaping is needed. pathname2url() can be used to create a valid URL which should then be mutilated.

Also note that the test creates the file in a loop -- this is not necessary.
