IPv6 support for LoggerHead?

Asked by Tom Dickson

Is it possible to get LoggerHead to listen on IPv6? Right now it seems to only listen on IPv4. Any attempt to use --host with an IPv6 address seems to fail.

Loggerhead uses Python Paste <http://pythonpaste.org/>, which doesn't support IPv6 AFAIK:

<http://trac.pythonpaste.org/pythonpaste/ticket/275>
<http://trac.pythonpaste.org/pythonpaste/ticket/276>

FWIW, it works fine if you put a reverse proxy that supports IPv6 in front of Loggerhead, having it connect over IPv4. That's what I do on <http://bzr.mattnordhoff.com/loggerhead/>.
