IPv6 support

[unclerico85]

Hi,
Are IPv6 addresses supported by parallel-ssh? My initial attempt throws an exception. Following the traceback it would appear that only IPv4 is supported as the AF_INET family is used when creating the socket in clients/base/single.py.

Thanks

Hi,

Thanks for the interest. Probably not, it is untested.

Should be easy enough to support though, needs tests to ensure behaviour is correct, ie connect when ipv6 is available, use getaddrinfo before connecting to get available IPs etc.

Thanks for the quick response. Is this a feature that could be added to the wish list? Adding the support is a bit out of my realm of knowledge, but I could help test.

Yes, have raised a feature request for it - #289. Thanks for pointing it out.
