Gregory P. Smith added the comment: FYI - hardcoding these addresses is now causing me problems as I try to get our test suite passing on IPv6 only hosts. "localhost" is correct.
IMNSHO if for some reason a system cannot resolve "localhost" into a correct address, it should be banned from running any form of networking related test. :/ I should not have to write messy conditional code to try and determine which type of socket I will likely need to bind to to determine which format of IP address string I need to supply as the localhost bind address. That is backwards! ---------- nosy: +gregory.p.smith _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue18792> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
