New submission from Łukasz Langa: ipaddr historically let users compare if one network is within another network: https://github.com/google/ipaddr-py/blob/master/ipaddr.py#L643
ipaddress specifically prohibits this comparison: https://hg.python.org/cpython/file/tip/Lib/ipaddress.py#l675 What is the reason behind this change? I propose we restore this functionality for 3.6. It's a behavior change but arguably backwards compatible in the sense that between 3.3 and 3.5 this __contains__ comparison always returns False. It's also more on par with what ipaddr did in the past. Thoughts? ---------- assignee: pmoody components: Library (Lib) messages: 271399 nosy: berker.peksag, lukasz.langa, ncoghlan, pmoody priority: normal severity: normal stage: needs patch status: open title: ipaddress incompatibility with ipaddr: __contains__ between networks type: behavior versions: Python 3.6 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue27628> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
