Hello, I've tried to use Twisted names.client.getHostByName() method to resolve some addresses for my UDP based app. By default getHostByName() always returns IPv6 address. I don't always have end-to-end IPv6 connectivity, so it often causes communication to fail. I've found a solution to override this behavior with monkey patching [1].
After Twisted 13.2 announcement I've checked the new HostnameEndpoint implementation to find possible solution (it seems to be dedicated to solve similar problems, but for TCP-based protocols). However it seems to use deferToThread(), and built-in Python getaddrinfo(). My questions: 1. Is using deferToThread() a preferred solution? 2. Does someone know a less hacky solution to get IPv4 addresses with getHostbyName()?
