[Python-ideas] ipaddress: Interface inheriting from Address

[Jon Foster]

Hi all,

After looking at ipaddress some more, I've got a few patches to
suggest.  I've pushed them all to a Mercurial repository which
you can see here:

https://bitbucket.org/jonfoster/python-ipaddress/commits/all?page=3

The "Interface not inheriting from Address" patch is:

https://bitbucket.org/jonfoster/python-ipaddress/commits/146d1ffa832fd0b72696a57c806995e6c53601a3

It depends on some refactoring, which I did in a separate commit:

https://bitbucket.org/jonfoster/python-ipaddress/commits/af480dbe385f65da3cf6b20d85a31854bf233772

There are a few other ipaddress patches in that repository, too.
I'd appreciate any feedback you have on these.

Kind regards,

Jon


P.S. I have just signed a Contributor Agreement.
