IPv6 address routability about django-ipware

[un33k]

Do you have a link to the specs?

[Karimerto]

Specs are the same as in your documentation: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reserved_IP_addresses. But what I mean is using https://docs.python.org/3/library/ipaddress.html for detecting whether an address actually belongs to a given subnet. I created a version which does this and it seems to work nicely. I also added a couple of tests to check for more private IP addresses.

@Karimerto I am looking forward to your PR. Please have in mind that we still need to support py 2.7. As the link you provided is only in py 3. I like the idea as ipaddress is part of python and we don't create another depency.

Alternatively, we can pin use python_requires='>=2.7, !=3.0.*, !=3.1.*, !=3.2.*, !=3.3.*, !=3.4.*', and make the next version py 3.0 only.

Actually the same ipaddress library exists in both python versions, 2 and 3. I forked a copy of this and pushed the necessary changes. However it currently supports only python 3, as python 2's version of ipaddress library wants the string to be unicode (as in u'something'). I'll see if I can easily create something that'll support both 2 and 3.

I have looked at your work and it looks great. If you can make it fallback on what we have now for 2.7, it would be a great PR. Thx

@Karimerto django-ipware is on its way to being deprecated.

With that said, I have a python package that is going to replace it.

Have a look at python-ipware and if works for you switch to it.

Feedback is welcomed.
