If the IPs are stored as lists or tuples of integers you can compare
them directly and Python will do the right thing. If they are strings, a
simple helper function can convert them to lists:
In [1]: def ipStrToList(ip):
...: return map(int, ip.split('.'))
...:
In [2]: ipStrToList('123.132.122.4')
Out[2]: [123, 132, 122, 4]
In [3]: lower = _
In [4]: upper = ipStrToList('123.132.122.255')
In [5]: lower <= ipStrToList('123.132.122.58') <= upper
Out[5]: True
In [6]: lower <= ipStrToList('123.132.123.58') <= upper
Out[6]: False
