New submission from Gary van der Merwe:
Currently if one has an ip address in int or IPv4Address/IPv6Address form, it
is not possilbe to create a ip_interface or ip_network from that with specific
prefix length, without first converting the address into string form, and then
appending the prefixlen
Please could an optional prefixlen argument to ip_interface and ip_network (and
the __init__ functions for their backing classes) so that one can do this.
e.g: it should work like this:
>>> ipaddress.ip_interface(167772161, prefixlen=24)
IPv4Interface('10.0.0.1/24')
I would like to do a patch for this. I would just first like some feedback as
to whether a patch for this would accepted.
