Steve Dower added the comment: As far as I recall, there's a hosts file that resolves localhost to 127.0.0.1 on Windows, which means a user could break their own configuration if they so desired. Definitely on all supported versions we should be able to assume localhost can be resolved.
I haven't checked out how it deals with IPv6, but presumably there's a priority or another hosts file that will cover it. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue29639> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
