What Linux's getaddrinfo() is doing with IPv6 (on some versions)
I've previously noted that Linux's getaddrinfo() implementationdoesn't return IPv6 addresses by default if it doesn't think that yoursystem is IPv6 capable, or perhaps if your system has IPv6 disabled(this is most conveniently visible through the Python interface ).
