Force requests to use IPv4 / IPv6

by

I’ve found a minimalistic solution to force urrlib3 to use either ipv4 or ipv6. This method is used by urrlib3 for creating new connection both for Http and Https. You can specify in it any AF_FAMILY you want to use.

import socket
import requests.packages.urllib3.util.connection as urllib3_cn
    
   
def allowed_gai_family():
    """
     https://github.com/shazow/urllib3/blob/master/urllib3/util/connection.py
    """
    family = socket.AF_INET
    if urllib3_cn.HAS_IPV6:
        family = socket.AF_INET6 # force ipv6 only if it is available
    return family

urllib3_cn.allowed_gai_family = allowed_gai_family
