PMFJI a bit late, but the last line looks a bit tedious to type :-)
packing it the other direction (little endian) enables us using string.join:

>>> from struct import pack, unpack
>>> from string import atol, join
>>> def transip3(long): return join(map(str,unpack('4B', pack('<L',
atol(long)))), '.')

>>> transip3('16777343')
'127.0.0.1'
>>> transip3('2227275982')
'206.136.193.132'
>>>
