In the example section of socket module I see: HOST = '' # Symbolic name meaning the local host PORT = 50007 # Arbitrary non-privileged port '', at least on Windows, is an alias for telling the socket to listen on all available interfaces while 'localhost' is used for referencing the local interface (usually '127.0.0.1').

http://docs.python.org/dev/library/socket.html#example The second example (the IPv4/IPv6 server) still reports the local interface.

The online docs probably haven't rebuilt yet.

Fine. I just thought you had modified it only in one place.
