Quote: "The individual computer systems must be upgraded to support
IPv6 (for example, on Windows XP and Server 2003 systems, IPv6 must be
installed as a Network Component via the Network Connections
Properties dialog box) and your routers must be upgraded to support
IPv6 protocols along with IPv4."

Python's socket module also talks about IPv6 calls here:

I've never messed with this, so good luck!
