It's not the language per se, but the socket module, which is written in 
C.  It references structs and consts that might not exist on a 
non-IPv6-aware system, so they need to be #ifdef'd out.

But in fairness, this didn't really occur to me either, since I haven't 
used a custom built install of Python in probably a decade. :)

I did just now test it, and ENABLE_IPV6 is defined by default when I run 
configure.  I'd guess that it wasn't for you because you initially built 
Python on a system without kernel support for IPv6.

Cheers,
Jason.
