## POSSIBLE PROBLEMS AND POSSIBLE SOLUTIONS ##

### weird behaviour on old Python versions ###

The main deployment of this software uses a relatively current version

of Python (take a look at `Dockerfile` to see which one).

If you experience weird bugs (especially encoding-related ones)

while using an older version of Python, please file an issue and

try to use a newer version of Python.

### can't bind to socket ###

Labello tries to bind itself to `::` by default. This means it will respond to

all requests regardless of the client's ip address, the used network interface

or the used version of the internet protocol.

On some systems this might fail. Please file an issue in this case.

If you get an error message stating something like

`socket.gaierror: [Errno -9] Address family for hostname not supported`

on startup, you can try to set `SERVER_ADDRESS` to `0.0.0.0` in the config file.

This should restore the old behaviour and just listen on IPv4.
