fix: bip21.py: add missing import
urllib.parse needs to be explicitly imported for e.g. urllib.parse.urlparse to work.
I think this was not erroring only because urllib.parse is imported in other modules.
What changed, and why it matters
This is a tiny code cleanup: a file that uses urllib.parse.urlparse now explicitly imports urllib.parse instead of relying on another file to import it first. It does not change any behavior in normal use and is not a security fix for an exploitable vulnerability.
No action required; treat as routine code-quality/maintenance change.
Security signals we found
No security-relevant behavioral change
Missing explicit import corrected
No input parsing logic modified
Evidence from the diff
The commit adds ‘import urllib.parse’ to electrum/bip21.py. The module already used urllib.parse.urlparse, which worked only because other imported modules happened to load urllib.parse into the process. The change makes the dependency explicit and prevents potential AttributeError or module-loading issues if those other imports change. There is no evidence this was exploitable.
