well, he had to join Tutor to post, unless a mod allowed his msg, so
there should be *some* interest in doing it in Python. after all, the
equivalent code is already slightly shorter and easier to read than
the Perl version...

import socket
import sys

for hp in sys.argv[1:]:
    h, p = hp.strip().split(':')
    print '%s -> %s:%s' % (hp, socket.gethostbyname(h), p)

cheers,
