True, but you don't get a string of equal length back.
from the PEP:
- Treat network elements as lists (in so far as it's possible).
(that should probably say "treat networks as lists")
you will no be able, with a string, to do something like
>>> 'this is my string'[0][1][2][3]
but that's what's being suggested here for networks.
>>> ipaddr.IPv4Network('1.1.1.1/24')[0][1][2][3]...
