IMHO the best fix is to document that the exact behaviour depends on the 
platform, and that only IPv4 decimal and IPv6 hexadecimal are portable. Corner 
cases like IPv4 octal addresses are not portable, you should write your own 
parser.

Note: I checked ipaddress, it doesn't seem to support the funny octal addresses 
format.

Why do you need octal addresses? What is your use case? :-p
