[issue1664] nntplib is not IPv6-capable

[Derek Morr]

Derek Morr <derekmorr at psu.edu> added the comment:

I'm confused by that.

In order to apply a 3 line patch (which replaces one standard library 
function with another), you want an entire test suite written for 
nntplib?

If we're willing to accept that nttplib works reasonably well now, why 
is the testsuite necessary? socket.create_connection() is already used 
in several other modules.
