Serhiy Storchaka added the comment:
Yes, pickling (and especially unpickling) ints is more efficient, but the code
will more complex. Interfaces should be pickled as strings for backward
compatibility, and interfaces are subclasses of addresses.
Here are microbenchmarks:
./python -m timeit -s "import ipaddress, pickle; ips =
[ipaddress.ip_address('192.0.2.%s'%i) for i in range(1, 101)]" --
"pickle.dumps(ips)"
./python -m timeit -s "import ipaddress, pickle; ips =
[ipaddress.ip_address('2001:db8::%x'%i) for i in range(1, 101)]" --
"pickle.dumps(ips)"
./python -m timeit -s "import ipaddress, pickle; ips =
[ipaddress.ip_address('192.0.2.%s'%i) for i in range(1, 101)]; pickled =
pickle.dumps(ips)" -- "pickle.loads(pickled)"
./python -m timeit -s "import ipaddress, pickle; ips =
[ipaddress.ip_address('2001:db8::%x'%i) for i in range(1, 101)]; pickled =
pickle.dumps(ips)" -- "pickle.loads(pickled)"
