Still, people proposing that 192.168.1.1/24 should be rejected (I still don't know whether anybody is actually proposing that) have to provide a proposal how this should be input instead.

It was proposed to have a dedicated function or class method which would parse such strings and return a (Network, Address) tuple corresponding to the two objects that are described by that single notation.

parse_network_and_host('192.168.1.1/24') (Network('192.168.1.0/24'), Address('192.168.1.1'))

Antoine.
