The proposed patch for this issue include parts of other pending issues
- so its all is single file. If python team don't like idea for
"canonical host names" (part of issue 3754) this patch can be modified
do not use host-triplet. Also some discussions in py-dev list show that
small patches are preferred. I'm ready to split into small patches to be
reviewed.
