Hi there,

connecting a multiprocessing.connection.Client to an ipv6 address is not possible, since the address family is not passed into the constructor of class SocketClient. The constructor determines the family by calling address_type(address), which never returns AF_INET6.

The class SocketListener already implemented ipv6 support.

kind regards
