Abstract:
This PEP proposes a design and for an IP address manipulation module for
python.
PEP Acceptance:
This PEP was accepted by Nick Coghlan on the 15th of May, 2012.

Several very good IP address modules for python already exist.

* A few attributes were renamed to disambiguate their purpose as
well. (eg. network, network_address)
* A number of methods and functions which returned containers in ipaddr now

summarize_address_range and collapse_address_list.
