Cannot register an account over IPv6

[WhyNotHugo]

I tried adding an account to turpial, but I'm getting the below error.

$ turpial

<class 'socket.gaierror'>: [Errno -9] Address family for hostname not supported

I'm assuming this is related to my network only having IPv6 and not any IPv4 addresses or routes (though the gateway does imlpement NAT64 for IPv4-only hosts).

There is a PR in libturpial that fixes this https://github.com/satanas/libturpial/pull/96

[WhyNotHugo]

@Bouska It would seem so. I belive we can close this issue; I'll keep an eye on libturpial#96 which should fix this.

[satanas]

I'll be merging that PR for the next stable release. Thanks for your contribution
