Hello,
The organisation that I currently work for has a large number of
'legacy' tools and scripts which rely entirely on IPv4. Many of them
have been written and not documented etc. The organisation is in the
process of moving to a dual stack environment over the next 3 months.
With that in mind many of our scripts need to be rewritten and
documented. I have been looking at moving from a mix of languages
over to a standard which at this point is looking like it will be
Python (because I am most familiar with it). I have never done any
dual stack coding so I am interested to know if there are any good
resources for developing dual stack python code? I have had a look
around and have found very little on the python web page which makes
me worry. Does anyone have any recommendations on web pages to read
or books to look at?
There are at least 2 ip address libraries which handle both ip4 and ip6.
One is Google's package,
http://pypi.python.org/pypi/ipaddr/2.0.0
I forget the name of the other, which covers a bit more than the above
with a slightly different conceptual model. Would these help.
