New submission from Al <awpythonb...@sunnyside.com>:

https://docs.python.org/3.9/library/ipaddress.html

This documentation for the 'ipaddress' IPv4/IPv6 Manipulation Library 
incorrectly states the address range for 'ipv4_mapped' as ::FFFF/96 (which 
means 0:0:0:0:0:0:0:FFFF/96).  This is just flat out wrong.  There are some 
websites out there, e.g. APNIC, that also have this error.

The correct address range can be expressed by any of the following methods:
1) 0:0:0:0:0:FFFF:0:0/96
2) ::FFFF:0:0/96
3) 0:0:0:0:0:FFFF::/96
