I normally just lurk on python-dev, but I will comment on this thread. I manage several large IP address spaces and I've written my own IP address tools in the past. The comments on the thread motivated me to look at the ipaddr module. I fully agree with Clay's comments. I would not use the module as it stands. I apologize for lurking too much and not commenting earlier. casevh > > Regards, > Martin > _______________________________________________ > Python-Dev mailing list > Python-Dev@python.org > http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev > Unsubscribe: > http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/casevh%40gmail.com > _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
