Yeah, and yet so many ISPs simply don't support it (only one of the Australian ISPs I've worked with does - Internode). So heaps of code just doesn't get tested in an IPv6 environment. I don't know whether there's anything in Python that would fail in that way, but there might be; if someone starts writing a DNS server in Python and runs into difficulties with AAAA records, then it actually might be a library bug. But the concept still applies: Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence.[1] Before ranting loudly about how Python is buggy, make absolutely sure you're right, and show the evidence.
