netaddr 0.6.4

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

A Python library for representing and manipulating network addresses.

It takes the hassle out of dealing with a variety of common layer 2 and layer 3 network addressing formats and operations performed on them, presented in a consistent, easy to use and extensible Pythonic API.

The netaddr library allows you to work with :-

• IPv4 and IPv6 addresses and subnets (including CIDR notation)

• MAC (Media Access Control) addresses (and its many variant formats)

• IEEE OUI, IAB, EUI-48 and EUI-64 identifiers

• arbitary IP address ranges and user-friendly glob style IP ranges

Included are routines for :-

• generating, sorting, summarizing and excluding IP addresses and ranges

• converting IP addresses and ranges from one notation to another

• querying OUI and IAB organisational information published by the IEEE

• querying information on IP standards published by IANA
