* PEP 3144: IP Address manipulation library

This is pretty close to approval. Peter's addressed all the substantive comments that were made regarding the draft API, and he's going to provide an update to the PEP shortly that should get it into a state where I can mark it as Approved. Integration of the library and tests shouldn't be too hard, but it would really help if a sphinx expert could take a look at my Stack Overflow question [1] about generating an initial version of the API reference docs. (I've been meaning to figure out the right mailing list to send sphinx questions to, but haven't got around to it yet). [1] http://stackoverflow.com/questions/10377576/emit-restructuredtext-from-sphinx-autodoc Will this package go through the provisional state mandated by PEP 411 ?

Yeah, it will. While the ipaddr heritage means we can be confident the underlying implementation is solid, there's no need to be hasty in locking down the cleaned up API. Clarifying that is one of the updates I've asked Peter to make to the PEP before I can accept it.

Cheers, Nick.
