:mod:`ipaddr` --- IP address manipulation library
=================================================
.. module:: ipaddr
:synopsis: IPv4 and IPv6 network address manipulation classes.
.. moduleauthor:: Google, Inc.
.. sectionauthor:: Gregory P. Smith <greg@krypto.org>
.. 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)
Collapse 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 :func:`int`. It may
also be used as a sequence that yields the string representation of every IP
address within the object's subnet.
The following properties are available on all IP address objects:
.. attribute:: broadcast
Integer representation of the broadcast address. Read only.
.. attribute:: broadcast_ext
Dotted decimal or colon string version of the broadcast address. Read
only.
.. attribute:: hostmask
Integer representation of the hostmask. Read only.
.. attribute:: hostmask_ext
Dotted decimal or colon string version of the hostmask. Read only.
.. attribute:: ip
Integer representation of the IP address. Read only.
.. attribute:: ip_ext
Dotted decimal or colon string version of the IP address. Read only.
.. attribute:: ip_ext_full
Canonical string version of the IP address. Read only.
.. attribute:: is_loopback
True if the address is a loopback address as defined in IPv4 :rfc:`3330`
or IPv6 :rfc:`2373` section 2.5.3.
.. attribute:: is_link_local
True if the address is a link-local address as defined in IPv4 :rfc:`3927`
or IPv6 :rfc:`4291`.
.. attribute:: is_multicast
True if the address is reserved for multicast use. See IPv4 :rfc:`3171`
or IPv6 :rfc:`2373` section 2.7 for details.
.. attribute:: is_private
True if the address is reserved for private networks as defined in IPv4
:rfc:`1918` or IPv6 :rfc:`4193`.
.. attribute:: netmask
Integer representation of the netmask. Read only.
.. attribute:: netmask_ext
Dotted decimal or colon string version of the netmask. Read only.
.. attribute:: network
Integer representation of the network. Read only.
.. attribute:: network_ext
Dotted decimal or colon string version of the network. Read only.
.. attribute:: numhosts
Number of hosts in the current subnet. Read only.
.. attribute:: packed
The packed network byte order representation of this network address.
Read only.
.. attribute:: prefixlen
A property to get and set the prefix length. Readable and writeable.
.. attribute:: 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()
