I also suggest the AddressWithMask classes not have any network/container
behaviours for a similar reason. If the developer needs these, the
.network attribute is only a lookup away.
Another way to approach this would be for the Address
object to potentially have a 'network' attribute
referencing a Network object.
Then there are only two classes, but three use cases
are covered:
1) a Network
2) a plain, network-agnostic Address with network == None
3) an Address with an attached Network
An Address could be constructed in three ways:
Address(ip_number)
Address(ip_number, network = <Network instance>)
Address(ip_number, mask = <mask>)
# constructs and attaches a suitably-masked Network instance
We could also have some_network[n] return an Address
referring back to the network object it was obtained
from.
