This patch was along the lines that when IPv6 address is present, return the first address,which I assumed to be active address and would make the urllib2 work. I am not sure, if returning all the addresses would help and how would we define which address to use? AI_CANONNAME flag, I don't accurately remember it now. But I had encountered issues when testing on IPv-4 systems without it. I am having different opinion on this issue now. First is, taking from Facundo's comment on having this functionality in gethostbyname() and implementing it in C. Second is, the wrapper function and suitable way needs to be defined. I am sorry, I fail to understand the question on why ftp_open does hostname resolution. You mean to say without it, if we pass it to ftplib.FTP.connect() it would work for IPv6 address? _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue1675455> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
