Looks like this happens because the is_private method that gets called is from _BaseNetwork, which checks if the network address '0.0.0.0' and the broadcast address '255.255.255.255' are both private, which they are as 0.0.0.0 falls into 0.0.0.0/8. I think for this to get it right, you would have to change the is_private check for networks to iterate over each possible subnet and check if that is in the private networks list. This takes an unfeasibly long time. So, we would probably have to add special cases for these networks, unless people have better ideas. ---------- nosy: +Wicken _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue38655> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
