WRT IPv6, no, the esp8266 doesn't, but I believe WICED does. In any case, IPv6 should become really important with IoT stuff so I'd plan for it. But I was really referring to JS-land, so strings it is.
Since the Socket library has a capital S I'll change to Wifi. WiFi is just too awkward IMHO and I've never seen it used anywhere other than trademarks.
I'm not a python wiz (never written any real python code) so if you could spare half an hour to tinker I would very much appreciate!
Espruino is a JavaScript interpreter for low-power Microcontrollers. This site is both a support community for Espruino and a place to share what you are working on.
