the abovementioned socket option is missing from
python2.2 as well 2.3.

it's needed by nearly all server programs, since i
believe the default behaviour in linux changed between
kernel versions 2.4 and 2.6. the default also currently
varies between operating systems. it controls whether
listening to * on a ipv6 socket also accepts ipv4
connections.
