[New-bugs-announce] [issue1664] nntplib is not IPv6-capable

[Derek Morr]

New submission from Derek Morr:

nntplib hardcodes AF_INET for the socket address family. This prevents
it from using IPv6. Attached is a patch that converts NNTP.__init__() to
use socket.create_connection(), which is IPv6-capable.
