R. David Murray added the comment: It seems from the ipaddress documentation that 'a.contains(b)' would appropriate. But to avoid confusion with 'in', you could say a.covers(b).
However, 'in' is already used for <address> in <network>, and you can already get subnets out of a network (via 'subnets'), so it isn't completely crazy to consider the network a container of subnets (of varying sizes, depending on the arguments to subnet). ---------- nosy: +r.david.murray _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue20825> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
