New submission from Nicolas Limage: The current version of the ipaddress library implements containment relationship in a way that a network is never contained in another network :
>>> from ipaddress import IPv4Network,IPv4Address >>> IPv4Network(u'192.168.22.0/24') in IPv4Network(u'192.168.0.0/16') False I think it would be better to define the containment relationship between networks as such : - if network A contains all the ip addresses of network B, then B in A is True - by extension of this rule, A in A is True It is useful to quickly determine if a network is a subnet of another ---------- components: Library (Lib) files: ipaddress-network-containment.diff keywords: patch messages: 221350 nosy: Nicolas.Limage priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: added/corrected containment relationship for networks in lib ipaddress type: behavior versions: Python 2.7, Python 3.1, Python 3.2, Python 3.3, Python 3.4, Python 3.5 Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file35737/ipaddress-network-containment.diff _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue21828> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
