I see. And the system does have inetpton? That sounds like a bug to me - there should be no inetpton if the IPv6 API is unsupported.

Agreed. I will disable them.

So I think the configure test should be changed to define HAVEPTON only if all prerequisites of its usage are met (or the entire function should be hidden if IPv6 is disabled).

It would make Python more robust, but this is a mistake on my part.

Thanks for the help.
