Message 81011 - Python tracker (original) (raw)

As such, and given the recent work made to ipaddr to make it stdlib-friendly, my vote would be to include ipaddr in Python while netaddr can continue growing, providing its user base with diverse functionality while hopefully taking advantage of ipaddr in the Python stdlib as much as is practical and useful.

I could live with such a choice if the netaddr authors agree that it is the right choice (them being experts themselves in the domain). I don't want to be accused of drkjam's accusation of fast-tracking code just because it comes from Google (which would be a false accusation regardless, but there is no reason to make some Python users unhappy because they feel they are subject to political games).
