Research direction
Start at the socket.inet_pton entry point and reproduce the reported failure with the IPv6 address "[::]". Read the related socket library tests and establish the expected handling for bracketed IPv6 addresses; done means the behavior is covered by a regression test and the reported call no longer raises unexpectedly.
