In Python 3.3, but not on a web server, I get:
>>> import socket
>>> socket.gethostbyaddr("unknown")[0]
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
socket.gaierror: [Errno -2] Name or service not known
>>>
Question, do you get the same result on your server? (You can put the
Greek string in place of "unknown" of course)
If so, then the default value makes no sense; it'll cause an exception
if it's ever used. If you insist on sticking to expressions (no
try/catch, no if statements), then perhaps you should default to a
string representing a domain which will always exist.
