[Python-apps-team] Bug#607441: tracd: doesn't accept to bind to IPv6 address

[Damien CLAUZEL]

Package: trac
Version: 0.11.7-4
Severity: minor

Running trac on standalone mode, via tracd, is not possible on IPv6-only
systems. Tracd should be able to bind to an IPv6 address.

Example with a fresh trac install on user "crapp".

# sudo -u crapp tracd --http11 --auto-reload --single-env --hostname ::1
 --port 8000 /home/crapp/trac

    self.socket.bind(self.server_address)

Of course, IPv6 is correctly setup of this system, with sshd, apache
and so running.
