You need to specify how you're connecting to your endpoint in the path itself. If you want to use HTTP(S), prefix the endpoint appropriately.

>>> infura_url = "https://mainnet.infura.io/v3/<my_API_ID>"
>>> w3 = Web3(Web3.HTTPProvider(infura_url))
>>> w3.isConnected()
True

See the docs for more details on using HTTP(S), IPC, or websockets -> Choosing How to Connect to Your Node.
