Description

Support for IPv6 is not certain, having test cases verifying it with all the high level APIs is needed.

Some methods, like _isIP in tlslite/integration/clienthelper.py will certainly need fixing.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Examine the isIP method in tlslite/integration/clienthelper.py and related code to understand current IPv4 only assumptions. Write test cases that use IPv6 addresses to verify proper handling across high level APIs.
