[issue22421] securing pydoc server

[Senthil Kumaran]

Senthil Kumaran added the comment:

The localhost breaking on your linux system might be due to improper /etc/hosts or is localhost pointing to an ipv6 address?

That said, I think it is okay to rely on 127.0.0.1 as host for running pydoc server. I am unsure why the initial check was done only for mac (and windows and linux are left to use localhost).
