[New-bugs-announce] [issue42774] 'ipaddress' module, bad result for 'is_private' on "192.0.0.0"

[Trevor Marvin]

New submission from Trevor Marvin <python.org at syntechnix.net>:

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'.
