Python 2.3.4 supports IPv6. By that, I mean, socket module will recognize and talk to a IPv6 address. But if you want to anything at the higher level like parsing a IPv6 URL, it is added only the much later versions of Python - 2.6 release. > >From this link http://bugs.python.org/issue1675455 , it is not very clear. This is an open bug. What this indicates is, IPv6 access on local files and ftp access via IPv6 would fail. If you are going to do HTTP, this bug should not affect you. -- Senthil _______________________________________________ BangPypers mailing list BangPypers@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/bangpypers
