We're (netaddr) going to try to use ipaddr if possible, but there are operations which we are providing to API users that aren't directly supported by ipaddr. We haven't yet determined the level of effort involved in trying to work with ipaddr's base classes in supporting these, but it may be more effort (and code) than it's worth (the benefits of using ipaddr may be lost). In a sense, it would be a shame. But on the other hand, we have examples where 3-rd party web frameworks don't use the built-in HTTP server, and that hasn't been a problem. In many ways, netaddr is evolving into an IP manipulation framework. Those that need its features can use it; those that just need the basics will be able to get that in the stdlib. In any case, it will be in our best interest to provide some compatibility layer between the two :-) _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue3959> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
