[Ronnie Ghose]

New submission from Ronnie Ghose:

Running the example given in the docs gives the following:


In [8]: socket.getaddrinfo('www.python.org',80)
Out[8]:
[(2, 1, 6, '', ('82.94.164.162', 80)),
 (2, 2, 17, '', ('82.94.164.162', 80)),
 (2, 3, 0, '', ('82.94.164.162', 80)),
 (10, 1, 6, '', ('2001:888:2000:d::a2', 80, 0, 0)),
 (10, 2, 17, '', ('2001:888:2000:d::a2', 80, 0, 0)),
 (10, 3, 0, '', ('2001:888:2000:d::a2', 80, 0, 0))]
