anyio: IPv6 is not supported
Currently it’s impossible to create TCP or UDP server listening on IPv6 address, also it’s impossible to connect to IPv6 address using anyio.connect_tcp()
because socket.gaierror: [Errno -9] Address family for hostname not supported
is raised.
To solve the issue I suggest to make following changes:
- allow to pass optional
family
argument tocreate_tcp_server()
andcreate_udp_socket()
- if
family
is not given infer it frominterface
argument if possible - implement
create_connection()
function and use it instead ofsocket.connect()
inconnect_tcp()
function
If proposed changes are fine with you I will submit a pull request.

Almost done. Just need to check the new TCP connection logic.
