[Pydns-developer] bin2addr(6) and addr(6)2bin

[Stuart D. G. <st...@bm...>]

I am building test cases for features touched for 2.3.1.  I have some
questions.

1) Do we still need to support python1.5?  Is python2.2 ok as a minimum
version?

2) Is there any reason not to use socket.inet_ntop (and socket.inet_pton)?

3) Comments say ::FFFF:ipv4 is specifically *not* supported for 
   addr62bin.  Do I need special processing to prevent that when
   reusing inet_pton?  Or was it just not got around to?  (I am
   copying pyip6.py from pyspf project to provide pure python
   inet_?to? when not socket.has_ipv6.)

4) I am presuming that doctest will not be used because of the space
   overhead in a low level library.  So all tests are going in
   a unittests directory.  The tests directory has pre-unittest
   python1.5 tests.  Can we remove that directory for 2.3.1?
