[issue28431] socket gethostbyaddr returns IPv6 names for 127.0.0.1

[R. David Murray]

R. David Murray added the comment:

I believe that you will find that the same thing happens if you call gethostbyaddr from C.  So this either isn't a bug, or it isn't a bug in Python :)

(Correct me if I'm wrong; I don't have time to actually test it myself, but gethostbyaddr is a fairly thing wrapper.)
