New submission from dholth <dho...@fastmail.fm>:

I thought it was really odd that the standard library documentation references 
ipaddr, a module from pypi, not something else in the standard library.

The documentation should explain that the referenced package is not a standard 
part of Python.

http://docs.python.org/library/socket.html#socket.inet_pton

    Platform-independent conversion to a packed, binary format.
