This module gives some utilities for IPV4 addresses. It defines the IP, Mask and Subnet classes. Objects of these classes should not be created directly, but rather through the function IPV4. It defines also some useful conversion functions.
>>> from IPV4 import IPV4
>>> a = IPV4('192.168.1.3')
>>> a # a is a string
'192.168.1.3'
>>> a.set_mask(23) # same as a = IPV4('192.168.1.3/23')
>>> a.mask # or a = IPV4('192.168.1.3', '255.255.254.0')
'255.255.254.0'
>>> a.subnet.start
'192.168.0.0'
>>> a.subnet.end
'192.168.1.255'
>>> a.same_subnet('192.168.2.1')
False
>>> a.bitstr
'11000000101010000000000100000011'
>>> a.subnet.bitmask
'11000000101010000000000'
>>> a.hexaval
'c0a80103'
>>> a.intval
3232235779L
>>> a.IPclass
'C'
