IPmaths

About

IPmaths is a Python module that performs common IPv4 addressing calculations for network engineers. Please note that this module is still under active development and some features may not be available or removed altogether.

Roadmap

As of the v0.1.0 release of this module, the following features are available:

• Calculate the best possible subnet mask for all the required hosts
• Calculate all the usable host IPv4 addresses with the given subnet mask
• Check if the provided IPv4 address is valid
• Check if the provided subnet mask (in CIDR) is valid
• Check if the provided subnet mask (in decimal) is valid
• Determine if the provided subnet mask is in CIDR or decimal form
• Convert the provided subnet mask from CIDR to decimal form
• Convert the provided subnet mask from decimal to CIDR form
• An education mode that explains how to perform these calculations manually

A v1.0.0 release is expected once all the following criteria has been met.

How it works

This section will be completed once IPmaths reaches the v1.0.0 release.

Install

IPmaths is listed on the Python Package Index and can be download via Python's package manager, pip.

pip install ipmaths

Then, the module can be imported into the desired Python script.

import ipmaths

Alternatively, the module can be packaged and installed manually. Please consult Python's documentation for such instructions.
