This is a rollup tracking issue. I've got an IPv6-only future buildbot host with which to run an diagnose these for fixes. Of note there is no IPv4 localhost.

If there are larger problems I may spawn child bugs for specific issues off of this one. (I already filed separate issues about 5 other tests that hang rather than fail)

How do you configure a Linux box to disable IPv4? At least, disable IPv4 localhost?

(I already filed separate issues about 5 other tests that hang rather than fail)

Maybe use this issue as a meta-issue for IPv6-only issues? I saw:

bpo-37895: test_logging hangs on an IPv6-only host
bpo-37896: test_multiprocessing_fork hangs on an IPv6-only host
bpo-37897: test_asyncio hangs on an IPv6-only host
bpo-37898: test_httpservers hangs on an IPv6-only host
bpo-37899: test_xmlrpc hangs on an IPv6-only host

Here's how I created an IPv6-only host: https://gist.github.com/gpshead/f4f394593674e5f7a58e9424b4dba989
