Howdy folks,

I have a first draft of a PEP for including an IP address manipulation library in the python stdlib. It seems like there are a lot of really smart folks with some, ahem, strong ideas about what an IP address module should and shouldn't be so I wanted to solicit your input on this pep. When you say : « the results of the first computation should be cached and only re-generated should the object properties change » does it mean that the objects are mutable? Would it make sense to make them immutable and therefore hashable (such as, e.g., datetime objects)?

that's a good point. I'll implement hash in the BaseIP class.
