New submission from Philipp Hagemeister <phi...@phihag.de>: socket.inet_ntop is only available on some UNIX platforms, although for example Windows users may want to use it. The new ipaddr module provides a platform-independent conversion to the packed format on all platforms and should therefore be used in platform-independent programs.
