netaddr employs a simple variant of the GoF Strategy design pattern (with added Python sensibility). It would be nice if you could avoid employing this kind of acronyms without explaining them. Not everybody drinks the design pattern kool-aid. (Google tells me that GoF seems to mean "Gang of Four", which is of course as meaningful as a hip-hop band name can be :-))

Really? Discussing the GoF design patterns by name seems to be prevalent amongst the programmers I know (yourself excluded of course...).

In any case, if you think netaddr's implementation strategy is better than ipaddr's, a detailed comparison would be welcome.

Regards Antoine.
