ipv6 support for runserver - stuck in DDN for 2 yrs
Erik Romijn
I noticed that there is a patch for IPv6 support in runserver,
http://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/7735 , and a maintainer willing to
make it cleanly apply to the latest trunk.
However, for some reason it's been stuck in DDN for two years. Why is
this? It looks to me like a simple patch for a feature we should have.
Can this be moved along, or is there something blocking it?
cheers,
Erik

Could you please expand on the 'a feature we should have' part?.
I've read the ticket history and there are similar claims there but with
no rationale either.

At a point in the not too far future, there will be IPv6-only hosts.
They will benefit from having runserver being able to listen on IPv6.

Adding IPv6 support seems like a reasonable proposal to me, and the
patch looks good in principle.
Based on the comments on the ticket, I'm assuming that the current
patch doesn't apply cleanly, so I've marked it 'patch needs
improvement'; if anyone can validate that the patch applies cleanly
(or can update it so that it does), feel free to move to ready for
checkin.
