Thanks for reporting! The commit message for de0c515 explains some context and the root cause of this issue. In short, I added socket.getaddrinfo to fix IPv6 support and changed the default behavior to bind to local host instead of the wildcard address. Until the next release, a workaround is to specify the hostname as 0.0.0.0.
