## How to enable IPv6 in the Python HTTP Server
If you are coding in python and you want your HTTP server to listen on
IPv6, you can inherit from HTTPServer and set the address family to
*AF_INET6* as follows:
```
from http.server import HTTPServer
class HTTPServerV6(HTTPServer):
address_family = socket.AF_INET6
if __name__ == '__main__':
myv6server = HTTPServerV6
```
For more details on how to use the HTTPServer in general,
