The current fallback to ipv6 won't work in most cases (successful socket.socket(socket.AF_INET) doesn't means ipv4 connectivity on the remote host). What we are trying to do, is to connect to the right IP (v4/v6) depending on DNS records (A / AAAA) and system preference and it's already done system-wide via getaddrinfo.
