[issue1027206] unicode DNS names in socket, urllib, urlopen

[David Watson]

David Watson <baikie at users.sourceforge.net> added the comment:

I was about to report this for the socket module - the gethostbyname(), gethostbyname_ex() and getnameinfo() functions are the only things currently affected in that module as far as I can see.  3.x is affected too - the functions will pass non-ASCII Unicode to the system as UTF-8 there.  The attached patch fixes them in 2.x and 3.x.
