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.
