An IPv4/IPv6 manipulation library in Python. This library is used to create/poke/manipulate IPv4 and IPv6 addresses and prefixes.

We want to hear from you!

If you're using either version of ipaddr, but especially if you're using the 2.0.x release, we want to hear about it. We want to make ipaddr as useful as possible, so if you're having issues with the library, the conventions or assumptions we've made as the authors, or if you find that ipaddr does exactly what you expect to and you couldn't be more thrilled with it. Please, drop me a line pmoody at google dot com or join the mailing list and drop a line there

Legal issues

Before we can accept a patch from you (if you are not a Google employee), you must sign a Contributor License Agreement (CLA). The CLA protects you and us.

• If you are an individual writing original source code and you're sure you own the intellectual property, then you'll need to sign an individual CLA. Individual CLAs can be signed electronically.
• If you work for a company that wants to allow you to contribute your work, then you'll need to sign a corporate CLA.

The Google CLA is based on Apache's. Note that unlike some projects (notably GNU projects), we do not require a transfer of copyright. You still own the patch.

Sadly, our lawyers say that even the smallest patch needs a CLA.
