[Python-Dev] IPV6 with Python- 4.2.1 on HPUX

[Senthil Prabu.S]

Hi Experts,
       I am pretty new to Python. I have been trying to compile python
on HP-UX 11.23 IPF machine. I tried to build with following configure 
option.

./configure --prefix=/opt/iexpress/python --enable-ipv6 --with-signal-module --with-threads
machine info : HP-UX beta B.11.23 U ia64
gcc : gcc version 3.4.3
While configure, I faced the following pbm,

checking ipv6 stack type... ./configure[13033]: /usr/xpg4/bin/grep:  not found.
unknown

Then I checked the config.log to find the entires for IPV6;

configure:12811: checking if --enable-ipv6 is specified
configure:12822: result: yes
configure:12954: checking ipv6 stack type
conftest.c:78:22: features.h: No such file or directory
conftest.c:78:48: /usr/local/v6/include/sys/v6config.h: No such file or directory
configure:13111: result: unknown

But, configure didnot produce any error mesage.
So plz advice whether Python supports the IPV6 option on HP-UX. Bez, I know ipv6
differs from linux and HP-UX. If I no need to worry about this and build python. How 
to check whether IPV6 option works well with my python.

Anyone please help to how to test the IPV6 functionality test.
Is there any specific IPV6 test available with python. I could not
find any specific testsuit for IPV6 under test directory.

Plz share ur comments


Advance Thanks,
Senthil Prabu.S
