That looks like a bug in urllib3 to me. The host is *not*
'[2620:125:9014:3240:14:240:128:0]', the host is
'2620:125:9014:3240:14:240:128:0'; the brackets are merely for disambiguating
the port.
Compare to urllib.parse.urlsplit:
>>> from urllib.parse import urlsplit
>>> s = urlsplit('http://[2620:125:9014:3240:14:240:128:0]:8080/api/python')
>>> s.hostname
'2620:125:9014:3240:14:240:128:0'
>>> s.port
8080
>>> s.netloc
'[2620:125:9014:3240:14:240:128:0]:8080'
I'd recommend pursuing this with urllib3, but do take a look at existing IPv6
parsing issues there as a cursory glance at their bug tracker shows several of
them.
That said, I don't know of any particular reason not to strip brackets in
HTTPConnection anyway. Brackets cannot be part of a valid hostname, can they?
