Just as we use socket.inet_aton() for converting Ipv4 string is there any way to convert the IPv6 address string in Windows.

The function socket.inet_pton() is only available for Unix.

So is there any other way for me to do that on windows and python 2.6 ???

IPy can do all sorts of IP address manipulations.

Also, inet_pton() is available as of Windows Vista, but Python targets older releases as well.

I am using Windows7 and I tried to use inet_pton in python 2.6 but it raised an Atrribute Error so is there any workaround without installing new library ?
You could try using ctypes to bind to the relevant function in ws2_32.dll.
Sorry but I don't know how to do what you have written ... Could you give me an example or perhaps links to what I should do ? Thanks a lot...
Yup am reading it and I have loaded the dll using ctypes.... then i wrote 'a = ctypes.WinDLL("ws2_32.dll") import socket a.inet_pton(socket.AF_INET6,"122.122.122.122.122.122")' and I get 4 bytes parameter less.... Could you tell what am i missing here?
The third argument to the function.
