Problem description

At my company we started using VPN that only works over IPv6. Since that we started seeing below errors when connecting:

 08:57:16 Encountered an error: Database Error ('communication error', gaierror(8, 'nodename nor servname provided, or not known'))

I looked into the code and it seems that the driver only works over ipv4. I started a draft PR: https://github.com/aws/amazon-redshift-python-driver/pull/229 But I'm not sure whether that's enough.

Other SQL clients works fine over IPv6 (datagrip)
