You can instead use netaddr:
import netaddr
try:
netaddr.IPAddress(input)
except AddrFormatError:
logging.error('Nope!')
else:
doSomethingWith(input)
You could also:
if netaddr.IPAddress('10.0.0.1') in netaddr.IPNetwork('10.0.0.0/8'):
logging.error('Yup!')

Subject: [openstack-dev] Validation of IP
Hi,
I am planning to validate an IP which is accepted part of input from user in
cinder, I need to verify if IP address is valid and it is up in the network.
The dirty way or only way that I know as of now is to create a socket object
and perform inet_aton() and gethostbyaddr()
Jut worried if these operations are safe to perform.
