Right. My examples of dark corners were non-specific too; I haven't
actually found any such corners in Python as I don't use it enough.
It's high time the world moved to IPv6 wholesale. Start leaning on
your ISPs to offer /64s (or /56s as Internode give) to all their
customers. Sooner or later they'll have to make it a priority. IPv4
depletion was back in early 2011 - that's two years since IANA gave
out the last blocks to the RIRs. Surely that means something?

At work, we took a stand on this, for what it's worth. We rent
dedicated servers from a number of hosting companies (giving us
geographically and topologically separate servers), and will not work
with anyone who doesn't give IPv6 as well as IPv4 addressing. But
since we currently put less than $100/month into servers, that's not
much of a stand :)
