Query regarding support for IPv6 in python

[Pramod TK]

Hello All,
I have some queries related to python support for IPv6. Can you kindly 
clarify the doubts which I have -
1. Does python support IPv6? [128 bit IP addresses?]
2. Does it support setting of QoS flags?
3. Does it support tunneling of IPv6 on a IPv4 network?
4. If an IPv4 address is given, does it support this on a IPv6 network?
If not can you kindly let me know, Are there any plans for supporting these 
features in future?

For Example -
In IPv4 we have gethostbyname() function, which is deprecated in IPv6. In 
IPv6, getaddrinfo() and new data structure like struct addrinfo is 
introduced.
Is this new function getaddrinfo() of IPv6 is supported in Win32 Extensions 
for python.


Thanks in Advance,
