> http://docs.python.org/release/2.7.2/library/socket#socket.create_connection doesn't describe how it loops over all IP addresses. That seems to be the functions main advantage (and a gotcha) compared to creating the socket and connecting directly. Well the main advantage is that it makes it much easier to write clients supporting both IPv4 and IPv6.
