New submission from Fabian: The ipaddress module accepts IPv6 addresses if the IPv4 address is formatted as an octal number, but http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3986#section-3.2.2 doesn't allow leading zeroes in the IPv4 address.
This is the current behaviour (in 3.4.1): >>> ipaddress.ip_address("::1.0.0.00") IPv6Address('::100:0') Expected: >>> ipaddress.ip_address("::1.0.0.00") Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> File "3.4.1/lib/python3.4/ipaddress.py", line 54, in ip_address address) ValueError: '::1.0.0.00' does not appear to be an IPv4 or IPv6 address Because I didn't know it better, I first tried to patch the backport but this might be still applicable the official code: https://github.com/phihag/ipaddress/pull/12 ---------- messages: 225950 nosy: xZise priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: ipaddress module accepts octal formatted IPv4 addresses in IPv6 addresses type: behavior versions: Python 3.4 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue22282> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
