Of course, both a class method or a > module-level function would be fine. so this is not the response I got when I asked what was required before. Would adding this constructor function satisfy your concerns (given sensible strict settings in the constructor, etc)?

Assuming the Network type loses the notion of a specific host (or host address, or ip) attached to it, yes.

Or to put it more clearly:

Network('192.168.0.1/24', strict=False) Network('192.168.0.0/24') Network('192.168.0.1/24', strict=False) == Network('192.168.0.0/24') True

Regards

Antoine.
