Interesting find.. the only time I've used that kind of URL convention is by connecting to redis with the python redis library.  It also fits db url connection strings too.

What's the actual use case for the URL schema?

The use case is that I've extracted URLs like that from spam emails. (I work for an agency that regulates spam.) Clearly the software creating the emails had a bug that resulted in the invalid URLs, but nevertheless, I don't want the invalid URLs to break my system, so I check they're valid before further processing.

 

You could also report this to the https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/django-developers group which is the core framework dev group, or report it as a bug on the django bug tracker.

Reported as a bug (with a fix): https://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/29528
