Hi,

Is there standard library modules handling this ? currently I need to
turn it into a long integer and do the shift and compare.

A little Googling turned up this:

thanks, that is basically what I am doing and since it is a recipe, I
would assume there is no standard library module for it.

Well, http://py.vaults.ca/~x/parnassus/apyllo.py/126307487 lists a few.
I had used IPy in the past. But somehow nothing so far was a decent
substitute for Perl's Net::IP.

Well, since a Google search for "site:docs.python.org subnet" turns up
nothing, one would assume not, but it would be hard to prove it without
an exhaustive review of the source code. ;-)

There was just recently announced -- iplib-0.9:
http://groups.google.com/group/comp...42714213fb1/ec53921d1545bf69#ec53921d1545bf69

It appears to be pure python and has facilities for dealing with
netmasks. (v4 only).
