I think the most important thing here is to have a stable release for =
Apple. It should always be possible to work with Apple to produce an =
improved version post-2.3 to be delivered via Apple Software Update (or =
whatever it's called). The fix could then be rolled into 2.3.1.

Contributions also go both ways - I definitely think Apple should be =
made aware of Skip's findings about getaddrinfo. Hopefully we'll either =
get a Python fix from Apple, or a getaddrinfo fix ... or both ;)
