New submission from Nikita Sobolev <m...@sobolevn.me>:
Right now the docs say: > ipaddress.ip_interface(address) > Return an IPv4Interface or IPv6Interface object depending on the IP address > passed as argument. **address is a string or integer** representing the IP > address. Either IPv4 or IPv6 addresses may be supplied; integers less than > 2**32 will be considered to be IPv4 by default. A ValueError is raised if > address does not represent a valid IPv4 or IPv6 address. Note the `address is a string or integer` part. But, this is not true. Counter example: ``` >>> import ipaddress >>> ipaddress.ip_interface(b'0000') IPv4Interface('48.48.48.48/32') >>> ipaddress.ip_interface(b'1111') IPv4Interface('49.49.49.49/32') ``` So, packed version that accepts `bytes`, should be also mentioned. For `ip_address` types are not mentioned: > ipaddress.ip_address(address) > Return an IPv4Address or IPv6Address object depending on the IP address > passed as argument. Either IPv4 or IPv6 addresses may be supplied; integers > less than 2**32 will be considered to be IPv4 by default. A ValueError is > raised if address does not represent a valid IPv4 or IPv6 address. I will send a PR with proposed changes. ---------- assignee: docs@python components: Documentation messages: 412562 nosy: docs@python, sobolevn priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: `address` arg can be `bytes` for `ip_*` functions in `ipaddress` module type: behavior versions: Python 3.10, Python 3.11, Python 3.9 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue46646> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
