Ralf Schmitt added the comment:

The fact is I have disabled IPv6 with python's --disable-ipv6 switch. If you 
think that this switch shouldn't be supported anymore, either remove it or 
document it as obsolete. 

Telling me to disable IPv6 in my system configuration is just arrogant. I may 
not be able to do so and I might have had good reasons to disable IPv6 support 
in python. It might even be the case that IPv6 support is working on my 
machine. So, that's a bad argument.

And the fact that I may be able to disable IPv6, won't change the value of 
socket.has_ipv6 magically for me.
