[New-bugs-announce] [issue5424] Packed IPaddr conversion tests should be extended

[Philipp Hagemeister]

New submission from Philipp Hagemeister <phihag at phihag.de>:

Currently, the testStringToIPv6 and testIPv6ToStrings tests in
Lib/test/test_socket.py only check for variants 1 and 2 (but not 3) from
RFC 4291 2.2.

Furthermore, there are no assertions that check wrong inputs are
appropriately refused in any of the packed IP conversion tests.

The attached patch adds a number of assertions covering those.
