socket.getaddrinfo can return an (int, bytes) tuple if Python is compiled with --disable-ipv6

[srittau]

Documentation

Currently, socket.getaddrinfo is documented as follows:

[...] sockaddr is a tuple describing a socket address, whose format depends on the returned family (a (address, port) 2-tuple for AF_INET, a (address, port, flowinfo, scope_id) 4-tuple for AF_INET6), [...]

But it seems that it can also return a (int, bytes) tuple if Python is compiled with --disable-ipv6 and the family is AF_INET6. This should be documented.
