What I was thinking too :-)
However, beware the parsing cost of ipaddress objects themselves.
One common pattern when doing UDP networking is the following:
def datagram_received(self, remote_addr, data):
# process data
...
self.send_to(remote_addr, response_data)
If you want to pass an ipaddress object to send_to, you have to make it so that
datagram_received() gives you an ipaddress object too.
Perhaps we need a more low-level solution, e.g. a parsing cache integrated in
the C socket module.
