[New-bugs-announce] [issue7791] Python 2.6 standard library "sees also" something not in the standard library

[dholth]

New submission from dholth <dholth at 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

ipaddr.BaseIP.packed()
    Platform-independent conversion to a packed, binary format.
