[issue22822] IPv6Network constructor docs incorrect about valid input

[Berker Peksag]

Berker Peksag added the comment:

Thanks for the report Chris. The patch in issue 18802 should solve this. It 
would be great if you'd have time to take a look at it (should we add a note 
that says we only support CIDR for IPv6?)

[issue22822] IPv6Network constructor docs incorrect about valid input

[Chris PeBenito]

New submission from Chris PeBenito:

Here:

https://docs.python.org/3/library/ipaddress.html#ipaddress.IPv6Network

In the constructor documentation, item 1 says:


A string consisting of an IP address and an optional mask, separated by a slash 
(/). The IP address is the network address, and the mask can be either a single 
number, which means it’s a prefix, or a string representation of an IPv6 
address. If it’s the latter, the mask is interpreted as a net mask. If no mask 
is provided, it’s considered to be /128.

For example, the following address specifications are equivalent: 
2001:db00::0/24 and 2001:db00::0/:ff00::.


However in issue22800 it has been identified that using the expanded netmask 
(e.g. ff00::/ff00::) is not supported.
