Yes, it somewhat archaic though. It's used when "byte" is ambiguous. On some ancient (by computing standards) computers, the size of a byte may be as small as 6 bits or as big as 9. For the purposes of this question, I think it's safe to assume an IP address is just a 32-bit number. And you need to extract each group of 8-bits and print those out with dots between them. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
