The patch seems reasonable to me.

For now, I am just inclined to apply the patch since (1) it seems to me such systems would be relatively rare and (2) none of us know what Python would do on such a system anyway. (If one of those assumptions assumptions is faulty, let me know...) If it turns out to be a problem, we could consider adding a flag to disable ipv6, regardless of the value of socket.has_ipv6. I will play around with this a bit. Thanks! Phil -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact listmas...@lists.debian.org
