Ralf Schmitt added the comment:
Marc, I think you'll have to bring this up on the mailing list if you want to
have anything changed. The developers on the nosy list have already closed this
as wont fix. They don't care anymore.

Marc Schlaich added the comment:
I agree with schmir, this is really unexpected behavior. At least it should be
fixed in the documentation. The doc currently says you get a 4-tuple for IPv6,
which is just wrong in this case.
Prominent library stumbled about this issue is Tornado
STINNER Victor added the comment:
The switch --disable-ipv6 is supported and works as intended. It is not the
intention of the switch to disable lookups. Instead, it disables support
for IPv6 sockets.
I just think that this definition is not exact. Do you seriously expect IPv6 to
work
Ralf Schmitt added the comment:
socket getaddrinfo returns garbage:
socket.getaddrinfo(python.org, 80)
[(2, 1, 6, '', ('82.94.164.162', 80)), (2, 2, 17, '', ('82.94.164.162', 80)),
(2, 3, 0, '', ('82.94.164.162', 80)), (10, 1, 6, '', (10,
'\x00P\x00\x00\x00\x00 \x01\x08\x88 \x00\x00\r')),
STINNER Victor added the comment:
socket.getaddrinfo(python.org, 80)
This is a different issue: it's #7735.
Do you really think that this is not a bug?
#7735 is a bug but it was decided that it will not be fixed. You may reopen
#7735 if you disagree.

Martin v. Löwis added the comment:
The data returned is not bogus; this is the correct result. If the system's
getaddrinfo returns an unsupported address family, Python returns a bytes
object (the system's sockaddr buffer) to the application. This should be
documented, though (either in the
Ralf Schmitt added the comment:
Given the fact that the bytes object is rather surprising and probaby useless
for the caller I wouldn't call this a correct result.
(sorry, I lost too much time on this issue, I had to put another comment here).

Martin v. Löwis added the comment:
It's not at all useless: it enables the application to bypass limitations in
Python, i.e. process the sockaddr on its own (very much in the same way as you
have to do for ioctl/fcntl).
Whether it's surprising or not depends on what you expected to happen.
Ralf Schmitt added the comment:
The TypeError error happened when using gevent. I've already written in that
other issue that this information was wrong and I get a bad family error.
Sorry, about that.
But this also demonstrates my point here. The Type error was raised exactly
because the
Martin v. Löwis added the comment:
schmir: your information on msi support is probably outdated; pypi.python.org
does support MSI files, see for example

New submission from Ralf Schmitt:
I'm running the following code on python 2.7.3 on a 64 bit linux.
import socket
print has_ipv6, socket.has_ipv6
res = socket.getaddrinfo(python.org, 80, socket.AF_INET6, socket.SOCK_STREAM)
print python.org is, res
With IPv6 enabled, I get the following
STINNER Victor added the comment:
getaddrinfo returns wrong results if IPv6 is disabled
If IPv6 support is disabled, Python is unable to decode an IPv6 address. So
don't ask for IPv6 addresses if you disabled IPv6 support.
I don't understand this issue.

Thanks for looking at this. loewis told me in
http://bugs.python.org/issue7735#msg172726 the following:
The switch --disable-ipv6 is supported and works as intended. It is not the
intention of the switch to disable lookups. Instead, it disables support
