Senthil Kumaran added the comment: The localhost breaking on your linux system might be due to improper /etc/hosts or is localhost pointing to an ipv6 address?
That said, I think it is okay to rely on 127.0.0.1 as host for running pydoc server. I am unsure why the initial check was done only for mac (and windows and linux are left to use localhost). ---------- nosy: +orsenthil _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue22421> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
