Are there any current plans for 2.7/3.1 to have inet_pton() and inet_ntop() made available via the socket module? Not sure how feasible or difficult doing this would be across all support Python platforms but it would certainly be useful, especially now there is talk about adding IPv4/IPv6 address manipulation support to the standard library (http://bugs.python.org/issue3959). This would provide handy C-level speed ups to IPv6 operations on interpreters where the socket module is available. Google App Engine's Python interpreter is one place where I believe inet_ntoa/aton and possibly inet_ntop/pton are not and will not be made available (by design). In such cases, a library could easily resort to ubiquitous (slightly slower) pure-Python fallbacks. Also, does anyone have a feeling for how available thet AF_INET6 constant is is across all Python's many supported platforms?
