dns - Python resolve a host name with IPv6 address

I wonder if there is a way to use python to resolve a hostname that resolves only in ipv6 and/or for a hostname that resolves both in ipv4 and ipv6?

socket.gethostbyname() and socket.gethostbyname_ex()does not work for ipv6 resolution.

A dummy way to do that is to run actual linux host command and parse the results. Is there any better way to do that?

Thanks,

socket.getaddrinfo supports IPv6. You just need to set family to AF_INET6.

socket.getaddrinfo("example.com", None, socket.AF_INET6)
