era added the comment: Quick googling did not turn up anything like a credible authoritative reference for this, but in actual practice, I have seen /32 used to designate a single individual IP address in CIDR notation quite a lot.
I can see roughly three options: 1. Status quo. Silently surprise users who expect this to work. 2. Silently fix. Hard-code /32 to return a range of one IP address. 3. Let users choose. Similarly to the "strict=True" keyword argument in the constructor method, the code could allow for either lenient or strict semantics. By the by, I don't see how the bug you linked to is relevant here, did you mistype the bug number? #27863 is about _elementtree ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue28577> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
