""" IPy - class and tools for handling of IPv4 and IPv6 Addresses and Networks.

$HeadURL: http://svn.23.nu/svn/repos/IPy/trunk/IPy.py $

$Id: IPy.py 671 2004-08-22 21:02:29Z md $

The IP class allows a comfortable parsing and handling for most
notations in use for IPv4 and IPv6 Addresses and Networks. It was
greatly inspired bei RIPE's Perl module NET::IP's interface but
doesn't share the Implementation. It doesn't share non-CIDR netmasks,
so funky stuff lixe a netmask 0xffffff0f can't be done here.

    >>> ip = IP('127.0.0.0/30')
    >>> for x in ip:
    ...  print x
    ...
    127.0.0.0
    127.0.0.1
    127.0.0.2
    127.0.0.3
    >>> ip2 = IP('0x7f000000/30')
    >>> ip == ip2
    1
    >>> ip.reverseNames()

Nearly all class methods which return a string have an optional
parameter 'wantprefixlen' which controlles if the prefixlen or netmask
is printed. Per default the prefilen is always shown if the net
contains more than one address.

wantprefixlen == 0 / None        don't return anything    1.2.3.0
wantprefixlen == 1               /prefix                  1.2.3.0/24
wantprefixlen == 2               /netmask                 1.2.3.0/255.255.255.0
wantprefixlen == 3               -lastip                  1.2.3.0-1.2.3.255

You can also change the defaults on an per-object basis by fiddeling with the class members
