This looks like PEP material. We actually discussed this briefly on python-dev, but there was noone there that had both the time and the knowledge to persue this. (I looked briefly at the 1.5.2 IPv6 implementation, but it raised too many questions to be added 'just like that', IMHO.)

Would anyone from the team that wrote this feel like writing a PEP ? How involved are you in Python ? In absense of a volunteer to write a PEP, would there be a volunteer to explain design decisions ?

(Hm, the person who submitted this patch did so anonymously. I'll forward the summary of this patch to core@kame.net)

This will not go in Python 1.6.  Python 2.0 is also closed for new features, so this should be taken up with Tim & Guido for 2.0.

There is no good reason not to include this feature in Python 2.1; but I can't speak for the quality of the patch until I've had time to review it.

Perhaps Python developers & testers knowledgable about IPv6 should get in touch with the person this patch is assigned to.

Changed status to Postponed because it came in after 2.0 feature freeze.  If you make a huge stink on Python-Dev and get a lot of support, cool, I'll re-Open it.  Else it's for 2.1 at the earliest.
