Verified usage

Verified import paths — ran on the pinned version, not inferred.

IpRange

✓ from iptools import IpRange

✗ import iptools; iptools.IpRange

Direct import is recommended; library paths may cause AttributeError if not careful.

IpRangeList

✓ from iptools import IpRangeList

✗ from iptools.IpRange import IpRangeList

IpRangeList is a top-level module, not a submodule.

validate_cidr

✓ from iptools import validate_cidr

✗ import iptools; iptools.utils.validate_cidr

validate_cidr is a top-level function, not in utils.

Simple validation, IP range creation, and list operations.

from iptools import IpRange, IpRangeList, validate_cidr # Validate a CIDR range if validate_cidr('192.168.1.0/24'): print('Valid CIDR') # Create an IP range and iterate r = IpRange('192.168.1.0', '192.168.1.255') for ip in r: print(ip) # Combine ranges rl = IpRangeList(['192.168.1.0/24', '10.0.0.0/8']) print(rl)

Debug

Known issues

breakingIpRange and IpRangeList do not support IPv6 CIDR notation directly; use IpRange with start/end addresses.

fix

For IPv6 ranges, create IpRange with two IPv6 addresses: IpRange('::1', '::ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff').

affects: <=0.7.0

deprecatedThe library is in maintenance mode; no new features are planned. Consider alternatives like ipaddress (stdlib) for IPv4/IPv6 manipulation.

fix

Use ipaddress from Python standard library.

affects: >=0.7.0

gotchavalidate_netmask may raise OverflowError for certain netmask values; fixed in 0.7.0 but still a potential issue if using older versions.

fix

Upgrade to iptools >= 0.7.0.

affects: <0.7.0

Errors

Common errors & fixes

AttributeError: module 'iptools' has no attribute 'IpRange'

Incorrect import path or namespace issue.

fix

Use 'from iptools import IpRange' instead of 'import iptools; iptools.IpRange'.

OverflowError: Python int too large to convert to C long

Very large IP ranges (e.g., IPv6) cause overflow in range calculation.

fix

Use smaller range chunks or upgrade to iptools >= 0.7.0 which includes a fix for large ranges but may still have limits.

ValueError: invalid literal for int() with base 10: ...

Passing a CIDR string to IpRange where start and end addresses are expected.

fix

Use IpRange with two IP addresses, not a CIDR. For CIDR, use IpRangeList(['192.168.1.0/24']) or parse manually.
