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.

As a starting point of any discussion, you should get into contact with the author of the IPv6 support in Python, Jun-ichiro "itojun" Hagino.

Regards, Martin
