:mod:`ipaddr` --- IP address manipulation library ================================================= .. module:: ipaddr :synopsis: IPv4 and IPv6 network address manipulation classes. .. moduleauthor:: Google, Inc. .. sectionauthor:: Gregory P. Smith .. versionadded:: 2.7 .. index:: single: IP address, IPv4, IPv6, netmask This module implements classes for working with IP host and network addresses, both IPv4 and IPv6. .. function:: IP(ipaddr) Take an IP string or int and return an object of the correct type. Returns an :class:`IPv4` or :class:`IPv6` object. The ``ipaddr`` parameter must be a string or integer representing the IP address. Either IPv4 or IPv6 addresses may be supplied. Integers less than 2**32 will be considered to be IPv4. Raises :exc:`ValueError` if the ipaddr passed is not either an IPv4 or an IPv6 address. .. function:: collapse_address_list(addresses) Collapses a sequence of :class:`IPv4` or :class:`IPv6` objects into the most concise representation. Returns a list of :class:`IPv4` or :class:`IPv6` objects. Example usage:: >>> collapse_address_list([IPv4('1.1.0.0/24'), IPv4('1.1.1.0/24')]) [IPv4('1.1.0.0/23')] .. class:: BaseIP() A generic IP address object. This base class defines the API and contains common code. Most authors should either use the :func:`IP` function or create :class:`IPv4` or :class:`IPv6` objects directly rather than using this base class. IP address objects support the following python operators: ``=``, ``!=``, ``<``, ``>``, ``<=``, ``>=``, and ``in``. An IP address object may be used as a sequence index or as a hash key and can be converted back to an integer representation using ``int()``. It may also be used as a sequence that yeilds the string representation of every IP address within the object's subnet. The following properties are available on all IP address objects: .. data:: broadcast Integer representation of the broadcast address. Read only. .. data:: broadcast_ext Dotted decimal or colon string version of the broadcast address. Read only. .. data:: hostmask Integer representation of the hostmask. Read only. .. data:: hostmask_ext Dotted decimal or colon string version of the hostmask. Read only. .. data:: ip Integer representation of the IP address. Read only. .. data:: ip_ext Dotted decimal or colon string version of the IP address. Read only. .. data:: ip_ext_full Canonical string version of the IP address. Read only. .. data:: is_loopback True if the address is a loopback address as defined in IPv4 :rfc:`3330` or IPv6 :rfc:`2373` section 2.5.3. .. data:: is_link_local True if the address is a link-local address as defined in IPv4 :rfc:`3927` or IPv6 :rfc:`4291`. .. data:: is_multicast True if the address is reserved for multicast use. See IPv4 :rfc:`3171` or IPv6 :rfc:`2373` section 2.7 for details. .. data:: is_private True if the address is reserved for private networks as defined in IPv4 :rfc:`1918` or IPv6 :rfc:`4193`. .. data:: netmask Integer representation of the netmask. Read only. .. data:: netmask_ext Dotted decimal or colon string version of the netmask. Read only. .. data:: network Integer representation of the network. Read only. .. data:: network_ext Dotted decimal or colon string version of the network. Read only. .. data:: numhosts Number of hosts in the current subnet. Read only. .. data:: packed The packed network byte order representation of this network address. Read only. .. data:: prefixlen A property to get and set the prefix length. Readable and writeable. .. data:: version Integer IP version number. Read only. The following methods are available on all IP address objects: .. method:: address_exclude(other) Remove an address from within a larger block. Returns a sorted list of IP address objects representing networks. Examples:: >>> addr1 = IP('10.1.1.0/24') >>> addr2 = IP('10.1.1.0/26') >>> addr1.address_exclude(addr2) [IP('10.1.1.64/26'), IP('10.1.1.128/25')] >>> addr1 = IP('::1/32') >>> addr2 = IP('::1/128') >>> addr1.address_exclude(addr2) [IP('::0/128'), IP('::2/127'), IP('::4/126'), IP('::8/125'), ... IP('0:0:8000::/33')] Raises :exc:`ValueError` if `other` is not completely contained by self. .. method:: compare_networks(other) Compare this IP object's network to another IP network. Returns -1, 0 or 1. This compares the integer representation of the network addresses. The host bits are not considered by this method. If you want to compare host bits, you can use ``host_a.ip < host_b.ip``. If the IP versions of self and other are the same, returns: -1 if self < other eg: IPv4('1.1.1.0/24') < IPv4('1.1.2.0/24') IPv6('1080::200C:417A') < IPv6('1080::200B:417B') 0 if self == other eg: IPv4('1.1.1.1/24') == IPv4('1.1.1.2/24') IPv6('1080::200C:417A/96') == IPv6('1080::200C:417B/96') 1 if self > other eg: IPv4('1.1.1.0/24') > IPv4('1.1.0.0/24') IPv6('1080::1:200C:417A/112') > IPv6('1080::0:200C:417A/112') If the IP versions of self and other are different, returns: -1 if self.version < other.version eg: IPv4('10.0.0.1/24') < IPv6('::1/128') 1 if self.version > other.version eg: IPv6('::1/128') > IPv4('255.255.255.0/24') .. method:: subnet(prefixlen_diff=1) Returns a list of subnets which when joined make up the current subnet. The optional ``prefixlen_diff`` argument specifies how many bits the prefix length should be increased by. Given a /24 network and prefixlen_diff=3, for example, 8 subnets of size /27 will be returned. If called on a host IP address rather than a network, a list containing the host itself will be returned. Raises :exc:`PrefixlenDiffInvalidError` if the prefixlen_diff is out of range. .. method:: supernet(prefixlen_diff=1) Returns a single IP object representing the supernet containing the current network. The optional ``prefixlen_diff`` argument specifies how many bits the prefix length should be decreased by. Given a /24 network and prefixlen_diff=3, for example, a supernet with a 21 bit netmask is returned. Raises :exc:`PrefixlenDiffInvalidError` if the prefixlen_diff is out of range. .. class:: IPv4() This class represents and manipulates 32-bit IPv4 addresses. Attributes:: # These examples for IPv4('1.2.3.4/27') .ip: 16909060 .ip_ext: '1.2.3.4' .ip_ext_full: '1.2.3.4' .network: 16909056 .network_ext: '1.2.3.0' .hostmask: 31 (0x1F) .hostmask_ext: '0.0.0.31' .broadcast: 16909087 (0x102031F) .broadcast_ext: '1.2.3.31' .netmask: 4294967040 (0xFFFFFFE0) .netmask_ext: '255.255.255.224' .prefixlen: 27 .. class:: IPv6() This class respresents and manipulates 128-bit IPv6 addresses. Attributes:: # These examples are for IPv6('2001:658:22A:CAFE:200::1/64') .ip: 42540616829182469433547762482097946625 .ip_ext: '2001:658:22a:cafe:200::1' .ip_ext_full: '2001:0658:022a:cafe:0200:0000:0000:0001' .network: 42540616829182469433403647294022090752 .network_ext: '2001:658:22a:cafe::' .hostmask: 18446744073709551615 .hostmask_ext: '::ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff' .broadcast: 42540616829182469451850391367731642367 .broadcast_ext: '2001:658:22a:cafe:ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff' .netmask: 340282366920938463444927863358058659840 .netmask_ext: 64 .prefixlen: 64 .. data:: is_site_local True if the address was reserved as site-local in :rfc:`3513` section 2.5.6. .. note:: The IPv6 site-local address space has been deprecated by :rfc:`3879`. Use :data:`is_private` to test if this address is in the space of unique local addresses as defined by :rfc:`4193`. .. data:: is_unspecified True if this is the unspecified address as defined in :rfc:`2373` section 2.5.2. The following exceptions are defined by this module: .. exception:: Error Base class for all exceptions defined in this module. .. exception:: IPTypeError Tried to perform a v4 action on v6 object or vice versa. .. exception:: IPAddressExclusionError An Error we should never see occurred in address exclusion. .. exception:: IPv4IpValidationError Raised when an IPv4 address is invalid. .. exception:: IPv4NetmaskValidationError Raised when a netmask is invalid. .. exception:: IPv6IpValidationError Raised when an IPv6 address is invalid. .. exception:: IPv6NetmaskValidationError Raised when an IPv6 netmask is invalid. .. exception:: PrefixlenDiffInvalidError Raised when :meth:`BaseIP.subnet` or :meth:`BaseIP.supernet` is called with a bad ``prefixlen_diff``. .. seealso:: http://code.google.com/p/ipaddr-py/ The original source of this module and a place to download it as a package for use on earlier versions of Python.
