Try socket.gethostbyname for IPv4-only or socket.getaddrinfo for
IPv4/IPv6. For example:
>>> import socket
>>> socket.gethostbyname('mary.local')
'192.168.71.1'
>>> socket.getaddrinfo('bookworm.griley.members.mac.com', None,
>>> socket.AF_INET6, socket.SOCK_STREAM)
[(30, 1, 6, '', ('fda1:5f1b:430f:37cc:214:51ff:fe0b:d94', 0, 0, 0))]
Check the Python docs (http://docs.python.org/library/socket.html) for
information on the tuples returned by getaddrinfo.
