Hello,

Would it be out of the question to change the IPv6 address 4-tuple to a 2-tuple (as used with IPv4) in Python 2.0? This is a source of many compatibility problems, and the additional flowinfo and scope elements from the IPv6 tuple are practically never used by normal applications.

This is the wrong list to ask about Python 2.x issues; that's python-dev. And yes, it would most likely be almost impossible.
