The documentation for is_private notes: Returns: A boolean, True if the address is reserved per RFC 4193. iana-ipv4-special-registry or iana-ipv6-special-registry. If we take a look at the iana-ipv4-special-registry then 0.0.0.0/8 does show up there: https://www.iana.org/assignments/iana-ipv4-special-registry/iana-ipv4-special-registry.xhtml While the name might be a misnomer, is_reserved instead of is_private might have been better, it does seem to conform to what the documentation says it will do. ---------- nosy: +ammar2 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue38655> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
