An IPv4 unspecified address, “0.0.0.0”, or an IPv6 unspecified address “::” inside a bind() call. This implies attempt to bind all network interfaces.

Unspecified address literals are:

  • 0.0.0.0
  • ::
  • 0:0:0:0:0:0:0:0

Example

import socket

# create an INET, STREAMing socket
serversocket = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM)
# bind the socket to a public host, and a well-known port
serversocket.bind(("0.0.0.0", 80))
# become a server socket
serversocket.listen(5)
