I'm pretty sure that this is not a local problem for two reasons. First,
your site _is_ reachable - it just isn't responding to HTTP requests
sent over IPv6. Second, as you said, I can reach other IPv6 sites just
fine:

I'm 98% sure this problem is on your end - if I had to hazard a guess
I'd say your webserver(s) or firewall are silently dropping IPv6
connections to port 80. Could it still be a weird browser or stack issue
- sure, they're complicated software and could be mis-configured or have
bugs, but can *you* reach the site over IPv6?

Hello Matthew,
We've had several reports of IPv6 connection problems in the past.
They have *all* turned out to be client difficulties and not
problems with python.org <http://python.org>.
Can you please check connecting to other websites using IPv6. If
they work but python.org <http://python.org> still fails come back
to us.
Many thanks,
Michael Foord
