[Pythonmac-SIG] Subtle difference between PythonMac and command line on OS X

On command line:

sudo hostname 192.168.0.4

...but that probably doesn't really do what you want.

I'd guess that he reason for the difference is there are entirely 
different subsystems returning the value. PythonMac using GUSI while 
MachoPython (command line on OS X) uses standard POSIX calls.

So, this probably isn't a bug, just expected deviations across 
platforms (PythonMac and MachoPython are different platforms.)

Whats wrong with opening the socket to 'localhost' on the command line version?
