just to double check, it's fine for IPNetwork to remain hashable if setprefix() actually returned a new object, correct? The name would be confusing, though.  Perhaps usingprefix() would be more clear. I think you'd be better off either doing this with an optional parameter to init, or a class method factory function (maybe fromprefix or similar). I don't see why it should be a method on an existing object.

while not the the prettiest, you can already (ignoring the set_prefix) do something like:

newobject = ipaddr.IP(str(o.network) + "/new prefix")

Is this sufficient?
