[pkg-wicd-maint] Bug#951125: python3-wicd: No way to get the IPv6

[Elzen]

Package: python3-wicd
Version: 1.7.4+tb2+2019.09.18git2e0ba579-1
Severity: wishlist
Tags: upstream ipv6

Dear Maintainer,

the Interface.GetIP() method always get the IPv4. It would be nice to allow to
get the IPv6 too (maybe add a GetIP6() method?)

That's not something new (there wasn't any method for this in the Python 2
version), but, as you're porting it (thanks again!) to modern technologies, why
not add this too?

Should be somewhat easy in the external backend, as (I guess) it parse the
ifconfig standard output, which contains the information. I don't now how the
ioctl backend works, so it may be harder for this one.
