New submission from Johannes Erwerle <[email protected]>:
The ip_network class in the ipaddress module does cache the broadcast_address
attribute.
But when the network address is changed the cache is not cleared/updated.
Example:
> from ipaddress import ip_network
>
> print("------------------------------")
>
> net = ip_network("10.0.0.0/8")
> print("net", net)
> print("broadcast_address", net.broadcast_address)
> print("increase")
> net.network_address += 2**24
> print("net", net)
> print("net.broadcast_address", net.broadcast_address)
>
> print("------------------------------")
>
> net2 = ip_network("10.0.0.0/8")
> print("net2", net2)
> print("no call to broadcast_address")
> print("increase")
> net2.network_address += 2**24
> print("net2", net2)
> print("net2.broadcast_address", net2.broadcast_address)
