Thanks Martin. That test verifies behavior that I observe in Mac OS 10.10 and
other modern platforms:
>>> socket.getaddrinfo('::2', 80, socket.AF_INET6, socket.SOCK_STREAM,
>>> socket.IPPROTO_TCP)
[(30, 1, 6, '', ('::0.0.0.2', 80, 0, 0))]
Investigating, I wrote a C program to call getaddrinfo on my Mac OS X Tiger x86
virtual machine, and indeed it resolves "::2" with family AF_INET6 in "hints"
as an IPv4 address, "0.0.0.2". However, the same setup resolves "::1" as an
IPv6 address, "::1".
Someone who knows more about IPv6 than I might guess the cause?
In any case, I wonder if replacing "::2" with "::1" at
test_base_events.py:1188, and replacing the regex '::(0\.)*2' with '::(0\.)*1'
at line 1195 would fix the test for Tiger.
Could you try that please? I'm having trouble compiling Python for Tiger so I
don't know how to test it on my virtual machine.
