[issue42774] 'ipaddress' module, bad result for 'is_private' on "192.0.0.0"

[Eric V. Smith]

Eric V. Smith  added the comment:

The ipaddress documentation references 
https://www.iana.org/assignments/iana-ipv4-special-registry/iana-ipv4-special-registry.xhtml,
 which says that 192.0.0.0/29 is reserved and not globally reachable. I think 
in that sense, it's a private address.

[issue42774] 'ipaddress' module, bad result for 'is_private' on "192.0.0.0"

[Trevor Marvin]

New submission from Trevor Marvin :

Tested on Python 3.6.9 with "ipaddress" module, module version 1.0.

ipaddress.ip_address('192.0.0.0').is_private

Incorrectly returns as 'True'.  Per RFC 1918 / BCP 5, section 3, the private 
IPv4 space sarting with '192' is only '192.168.0.0/16'.
