Pythonic manipulation of IPv4, IPv6, CIDR, EUI and MAC network addresses

a library providing Pythonic manipulation, validation and classification of common networking address notations, including :-

• IPv4

• IPv6

• CIDR (Classless Inter-Domain Routing)

• IEEE EUI-48, EUI-64 and MAC (Media Access Control)

Each object represents an individual address or address range and behaves as you would expect when treated like standard Python types. For example :-

If you call list() on a CIDR object, it provides an iterator yielding IP addresses.

Calling len() returns the number of addresses found within the range.

Indexing and/or slicing returns the addresses you’d expect. int() and hex() return the numerical value of an address in network byte order in the respective formats.
