Checking for IPv6 in Python
Here's a random little tip: To check if your platform's Python interpreter was built with IPv6 support, run this program:
$ python
Python 2.4.4 (#1, Jan 10 2007, 01:25:01) [C] on sunos5
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import socket
>>> socket.has_ipv6
True
>>> ^D
