Hi, pypi.python.org is currently not reachable over IPv6. I know this issue was brought up before [1,2]. This is a real issue for us, because our backend servers are IPv6-only (clients never need to talk to backend servers, they go through IPv4-enabled HTTP frontends). So, deploying packages from pypi on the IPv6-only servers is currently a pain. What is the roadmap to add IPv6 support? It seems that Fastly has already deployed IPv6 [3]. Thanks, Baptiste [1] https://mail.python.org/pipermail/distutils-sig/2014-June/024465.html [2] https://bitbucket.org/pypa/pypi/issues/90/missing-ipv6-connectivity [3] http://bgp.he.net/AS54113#_prefixes6
