Michel Albert added the comment: I second "supernet_of" and "subnet_of". I'll implement it as soon as I get around it.
I have been thinking about using ``in`` and ``<=`` and, while I initially liked the idea for tests, I find both operators too ambiguous. With ``in`` there's the already mentioned ambiguity of containment/inclusion. And ``<=`` could mean is a smaller size (has less individual hosts), but could also mean that it is a subnet, or even that it is "located to the left". Naming it ``subnet_of`` makes it 100% clear what it does. Currently, ``a <= b`` returns ``True`` if a comes before/lies on the left of b. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue20825> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
