That would only be true if the server we are contacting happens to listen on both IPv6 and IPv4, right? I don't think we have such a situation in the test suite. Clients can use create_connection() for transparent support of IPv6 and IPv4, but servers have to choose a family when creating their socket. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue18792> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
