giving 'module' object has no attribute with 'inet_pton' on windows

[infinite-Joy]

This is happening for me.

ERROR: test_HostNameCheck_valid (mailpile.tests.test_config.TestConfig)

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "G:\Python\code_reading\Mailpile\mailpile\tests\test_config.py", line 90,
in test_HostNameCheck_valid
res = mailpile.config._HostNameCheck(v)
File "G:\Python\code_reading\Mailpile\mailpile\config.py", line 382, in _HostN
ameCheck
if not _HostNameValid(host):
File "G:\Python\code_reading\Mailpile\mailpile\config.py", line 352, in _HostN
ameValid
socket.inet_pton(socket.getattribute(attr), host)

AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'inet_pton'

i understand this is only for windows users. Will this hurt in the platform independent-ness of Mailpile. Also can any one help me in resolving it. The link mitsuhiko/python-geoip#4 did not help. Thanks
