New submission from david <db.pub.m...@gmail.com>: (socket.gethostbyname doesn't return an ipv6 address) So just to start with I know the documentation says [0] "and getaddrinfo() should be used instead for IPv4/v6 dual stack support." However, the getaddrinfo() method provides more information than required. Why can't getaddrinfo support ipv6 ? or a method for ipv6 added to the socket module to make getting a host address by name easier (for ipv6) ?
