I am facing an issue with getsockname API of socket module. Following is the code I am using to get the ipv6 address of remote system.
import socket

def checkit():
        s = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET6, socket.SOCK_DGRAM)
        s.connect(('10.10.10.10', 80))
        print "ipv6 addressn%s" % str(s.getsockname()[0])

checkit()

in Python 2.7.3

ipv6 address
2001:420:404a:2018:155d:30ea:c897:76e9

    in Python 2.7.11

ipv6 address
::1
