Came across a problem with
yowsup
in an IPv6 network. Currently,AF_INET
socket is always created during connection to WhatsApp endpoints, and it fails to connect to non-IPv4 addresses. However,socket
module has a convenience functioncreate_connection
that creates and connects a socket to a given address. It handles detection of address family and socket type itself, thus creating a suitable socket both in IPv4 and IPv6 environments.
