[New-bugs-announce] [issue5917] Reference platform-independent alternative in socket.inet_ntop documentation

[Philipp Hagemeister]

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

socket.inet_ntop is only available on some UNIX platforms, although for
example Windows users may want to use it. The new ipaddr module provides
a platform-independent conversion to the packed format on all platforms
and should therefore be used in platform-independent programs.
