Hello,
I hope you are all well, I currently have an issue / merge request that has become stale and as per the guidelines I am sending this e-mail to request someone to review it for me please.
Issue Number: 42861 (https://bugs.python.org/issue42861) Pull Request: 24180 (https://github.com/python/cpython/pull/24180)
Could you share some motivation references that could help explain why this next_network method will be helpful? Is this common enough to warrant a method in the stdlib IP-Address module? If there is prior-art in other external libraries or libraries of other languages, that will be helpful to know and review too. I had looked at this a month ago when you pinged for review, but I could not immediately determine the benefit of having this method in stdlib, irrespective of implementation correctness or API Signature. I also lack extensive experience with ipv6. Thanks, Senthil
