Martin Panter added the comment: I’m curious what the result of gethostbyaddr() is in your case, Silent Ghost.
import socket socket.gethostbyaddr("::1q") socket.gethostbyaddr("::1::2") socket.gethostbyaddr("1:1:1:1:1:1:1:1:1") On my computer, I get “socket.gaierror: [Errno -2] Name or service not known” from each call. Perhaps this is similar to the problems encountered with test_bad_address() at Lib/test/test_urllibnet.py:102 ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue28728> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
