New submission from Nikita Sobolev <[email protected]>:
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.
