[issue1664] nntplib is not IPv6-capable

[Chris Morrow]

Chris Morrow <chris at as701.net> added the comment:

This is a little silly and painful... it's utterly broken to hardcode
the AF type in this way, could we please apply a patch (something like
the proposed seems to work fine) and get this rolled into the next release? 

It seems really lame to not be able to support normal internet protocols
in a tools language.
