Comment(by each):

 > Oh, btw, another unrelated comment I happen to notice: I suggest we use
 socket.getaddrinfo() instead of socket.inet_pton().  Whether or not we
 want to support IPv8:-), I believe we'd like to avoid this type of
 exception usage:

 It's my impression that python rather encourages this usage; anyway there
 are lots of examples of it in the various pythonic code-recipe websites
 and books I've looked at.  I know we want to avoid routine exceptions in
 C++ for performance reasons, but I'm not sure it's a problem in python
 (especially in this case, an input-validation routine).

 I chose to use inet_pton() instead of getaddrinfo() because I only wanted
 to it parse IP addresses, but getaddrinfo() will also look up domain
 names.  Do you know if there's a way to make getaddrinfo() parse addresses
 only?  Or some other way to accomplish the same thing?
