ipaddress
--- IPv4/IPv6 manipulation library¶
Source code: Lib/ipaddress.py
ipaddress
provides the capabilities to create, manipulate and
operate on IPv4 and IPv6 addresses and networks.
The functions and classes in this module make it straightforward to handle various tasks related to IP addresses, including checking whether or not two hosts are on the same subnet, iterating over all hosts in a particular subnet, checking whether or not a string represents a valid IP address or network definition, and so on.
This is the full module API reference—for an overview and introduction, see An introduction to the ipaddress module.
Added in version 3.3.
Convenience factory functions¶
The ipaddress
module provides factory functions to conveniently create
IP addresses, networks and interfaces:
- ipaddress.ip_address(address)¶
Return an
IPv4Address
orIPv6Address
object depending on the IP address passed as argument. Either IPv4 or IPv6 addresses may be supplied; integers less than2**32
will be considered to be IPv4 by default. AValueError
is raised if address does not represent a valid IPv4 or IPv6 address.>>> ipaddress.ip_address('192.168.0.1') IPv4Address('192.168.0.1') >>> ipaddress.ip_address('2001:db8::') IPv6Address('2001:db8::')
- ipaddress.ip_network(address, strict=True)¶
Return an
IPv4Network
orIPv6Network
object depending on the IP address passed as argument. address is a string or integer representing the IP network. Either IPv4 or IPv6 networks may be supplied; integers less than2**32
will be considered to be IPv4 by default. strict is passed toIPv4Network
orIPv6Network
constructor. AValueError
is raised if address does not represent a valid IPv4 or IPv6 address, or if the network has host bits set.>>> ipaddress.ip_network('192.168.0.0/28') IPv4Network('192.168.0.0/28')
- ipaddress.ip_interface(address)¶
Return an
IPv4Interface
orIPv6Interface
object depending on the IP address passed as argument. address is a string or integer representing the IP address. Either IPv4 or IPv6 addresses may be supplied; integers less than2**32
will be considered to be IPv4 by default. AValueError
is raised if address does not represent a valid IPv4 or IPv6 address.
One downside of these convenience functions is that the need to handle both IPv4 and IPv6 formats means that error messages provide minimal information on the precise error, as the functions don't know whether the IPv4 or IPv6 format was intended. More detailed error reporting can be obtained by calling the appropriate version specific class constructors directly.
IP Addresses¶
Address objects¶
The IPv4Address
and IPv6Address
objects share a lot of common
attributes. Some attributes that are only meaningful for IPv6 addresses are
also implemented by IPv4Address
objects, in order to make it easier to
write code that handles both IP versions correctly. Address objects are
hashable, so they can be used as keys in dictionaries.
- class ipaddress.IPv4Address(address)¶
Construct an IPv4 address. An
AddressValueError
is raised if address is not a valid IPv4 address.The following constitutes a valid IPv4 address:
A string in decimal-dot notation, consisting of four decimal integers in the inclusive range 0--255, separated by dots (e.g.
192.168.0.1
). Each integer represents an octet (byte) in the address. Leading zeroes are not tolerated to prevent confusion with octal notation.Sebuah integer yang cukup untuk 32 bits.
An integer packed into a
bytes
object of length 4 (most significant octet first).
>>> ipaddress.IPv4Address('192.168.0.1') IPv4Address('192.168.0.1') >>> ipaddress.IPv4Address(3232235521) IPv4Address('192.168.0.1') >>> ipaddress.IPv4Address(b'\xC0\xA8\x00\x01') IPv4Address('192.168.0.1')
Berubah pada versi 3.8: Leading zeros are tolerated, even in ambiguous cases that look like octal notation.
Berubah pada versi 3.9.5: Leading zeros are no longer tolerated and are treated as an error. IPv4 address strings are now parsed as strict as glibc
inet_pton()
.- version¶
The appropriate version number:
4
for IPv4,6
for IPv6.
- max_prefixlen¶
The total number of bits in the address representation for this version:
32
for IPv4,128
for IPv6.The prefix defines the number of leading bits in an address that are compared to determine whether or not an address is part of a network.
- compressed¶
- exploded¶
The string representation in dotted decimal notation. Leading zeroes are never included in the representation.
As IPv4 does not define a shorthand notation for addresses with octets set to zero, these two attributes are always the same as
str(addr)
for IPv4 addresses. Exposing these attributes makes it easier to write display code that can handle both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses.
- packed¶
The binary representation of this address - a
bytes
object of the appropriate length (most significant octet first). This is 4 bytes for IPv4 and 16 bytes for IPv6.
- reverse_pointer¶
The name of the reverse DNS PTR record for the IP address, e.g.:
>>> ipaddress.ip_address("127.0.0.1").reverse_pointer '1.0.0.127.in-addr.arpa' >>> ipaddress.ip_address("2001:db8::1").reverse_pointer '1.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.8.b.d.0.1.0.0.2.ip6.arpa'
This is the name that could be used for performing a PTR lookup, not the resolved hostname itself.
Added in version 3.5.
- is_multicast¶
True
if the address is reserved for multicast use. See RFC 3171 (for IPv4) or RFC 2373 (for IPv6).
- is_private¶
True
if the address is defined as not globally reachable by iana-ipv4-special-registry (for IPv4) or iana-ipv6-special-registry (for IPv6) with the following exceptions:is_private
isFalse
for the shared address space (100.64.0.0/10
)For IPv4-mapped IPv6-addresses the
is_private
value is determined by the semantics of the underlying IPv4 addresses and the following condition holds (seeIPv6Address.ipv4_mapped
):address.is_private == address.ipv4_mapped.is_private
is_private
has value opposite tois_global
, except for the shared address space (100.64.0.0/10
range) where they are bothFalse
.Berubah pada versi 3.13: Fixed some false positives and false negatives.
192.0.0.0/24
is considered private with the exception of192.0.0.9/32
and192.0.0.10/32
(previously: only the192.0.0.0/29
sub-range was considered private).64:ff9b:1::/48

,2001:4:112::/48
,2001:20::/28
,2001:30::/28
. The exceptions are not considered private.
- is_global¶
True
if the address is defined as globally reachable by iana-ipv4-special-registry (for IPv4) or iana-ipv6-special-registry (for IPv6) with the following exception:For IPv4-mapped IPv6-addresses the
is_private
value is determined by the semantics of the underlying IPv4 addresses and the following condition holds (seeIPv6Address.ipv4_mapped

IPv4Address
object representing the IPv4-mapped IPv6 address. See RFC 4291.Added in version 3.13.
- IPv4Address.__format__(fmt)¶
Returns a string representation of the IP address, controlled by an explicit format string. fmt can be one of the following:
's'
, the default option, equivalent tostr()
,'b'
for a zero-padded binary string,'X'
or'x'
for an uppercase or lowercase hexadecimal representation, or'n'
, which is equivalent to'b'
for IPv4 addresses and'x'
for IPv6. For binary and hexadecimal representations, the form specifier'#'
and the grouping option'_'
are available.__format__
is used byformat
,str.format
and f-strings.>>> format(ipaddress.IPv4Address('192.168.0.1')) '192.168.0.1' >>> '{:#b}'.format(ipaddress.IPv4Address('192.168.0.1')) '0b11000000101010000000000000000001' >>> f'{ipaddress.IPv6Address("2001:db8::1000"):s}' '2001:db8::1000' >>> format(ipaddress.IPv6Address('2001:db8::1000'), '_X') '2001_0DB8_0000_0000_0000_0000_0000_1000' >>> '{:#_n}'.format(ipaddress.IPv6Address('2001:db8::1000')) '0x2001_0db8_0000_0000_0000_0000_0000_1000'
Added in version 3.9.
- class ipaddress.IPv6Address(address)¶
Construct an IPv6 address. An
AddressValueError
is raised if address is not a valid IPv6 address.The following constitutes a valid IPv6 address:
A string consisting of eight groups of four hexadecimal digits, each group representing 16 bits. The groups are separated by colons. This describes an exploded (longhand) notation. The string can also be compressed (shorthand notation) by various means. See RFC 4291 for details. For example,
"0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0abc:0007:0def"
can be compressed to"::abc:7:def"
.Optionally, the string may also have a scope zone ID, expressed with a suffix
%scope_id
. If present, the scope ID must be non-empty, and may not contain%
. See RFC 4007 for details. For example,fe80::1234%1
might identify addressfe80::1234
on the first link of the node.An integer that fits into 128 bits.
An integer packed into a
bytes
object of length 16, big-endian.
>>> ipaddress.IPv6Address('2001:db8::1000') IPv6Address('2001:db8::1000') >>> ipaddress.IPv6Address('ff02::5678%1') IPv6Address('ff02::5678%1')

- max_prefixlen¶
- is_multicast¶
- is_private¶
- is_global¶
Added in version 3.4.
- is_unspecified¶
- is_reserved¶
- is_loopback¶
- is_link_local¶
- is_site_local¶
True
if the address is reserved for site-local usage. Note that the site-local address space has been deprecated by RFC 3879. Useis_private
to test if this address is in the space of unique local addresses as defined by RFC 4193.
- ipv4_mapped¶
For addresses that appear to be IPv4 mapped addresses (starting with
::FFFF/96
), this property will report the embedded IPv4 address. For any other address, this property will beNone
.
- scope_id¶
For scoped addresses as defined by RFC 4007, this property identifies the particular zone of the address's scope that the address belongs to, as a string. When no scope zone is specified, this property will be
None
.
- IPv6Address.__format__(fmt)¶
Refer to the corresponding method documentation in
IPv4Address
.Added in version 3.9.
Conversion to Strings and Integers¶
To interoperate with networking interfaces such as the socket module,
addresses must be converted to strings or integers. This is handled using
the str()
and int()
builtin functions:
>>> str(ipaddress.IPv4Address('192.168.0.1'))
'192.168.0.1'
>>> int(ipaddress.IPv4Address('192.168.0.1'))
3232235521
>>> str(ipaddress.IPv6Address('::1'))
'::1'
>>> int(ipaddress.IPv6Address('::1'))
1
Note that IPv6 scoped addresses are converted to integers without scope zone ID.
Operators¶
Address objects support some operators. Unless stated otherwise, operators can only be applied between compatible objects (i.e. IPv4 with IPv4, IPv6 with IPv6).
Comparison operators¶
Address objects can be compared with the usual set of comparison operators. Same IPv6 addresses with different scope zone IDs are not equal. Some examples:
>>> IPv4Address('127.0.0.2') > IPv4Address('127.0.0.1')
True
>>> IPv4Address('127.0.0.2') == IPv4Address('127.0.0.1')
False
>>> IPv4Address('127.0.0.2') != IPv4Address('127.0.0.1')
True
>>> IPv6Address('fe80::1234') == IPv6Address('fe80::1234%1')
False
>>> IPv6Address('fe80::1234%1') != IPv6Address('fe80::1234%2')
True
Arithmetic operators¶
Integers can be added to or subtracted from address objects. Some examples:
>>> IPv4Address('127.0.0.2') + 3
IPv4Address('127.0.0.5')
>>> IPv4Address('127.0.0.2') - 3
IPv4Address('126.255.255.255')
>>> IPv4Address('255.255.255.255') + 1
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
ipaddress.AddressValueError: 4294967296 (>= 2**32) is not permitted as an IPv4 address
IP Network definitions¶
The IPv4Network
and IPv6Network
objects provide a mechanism
for defining and inspecting IP network definitions. A network definition
consists of a mask and a network address, and as such defines a range of
IP addresses that equal the network address when masked (binary AND) with the
mask. For example, a network definition with the mask 255.255.255.0
and
the network address 192.168.1.0
consists of IP addresses in the inclusive
range 192.168.1.0
to 192.168.1.255
.
Prefix, net mask and host mask¶
There are several equivalent ways to specify IP network masks. A prefix
/<nbits>
is a notation that denotes how many high-order bits are set in
the network mask. A net mask is an IP address with some number of
high-order bits set. Thus the prefix /24
is equivalent to the net mask
255.255.255.0
in IPv4, or ffff:ff00::
in IPv6. In addition, a
host mask is the logical inverse of a net mask, and is sometimes used
(for example in Cisco access control lists) to denote a network mask. The
host mask equivalent to /24
in IPv4 is 0.0.0.255
.
Network objects¶
All attributes implemented by address objects are implemented by network
objects as well. In addition, network objects implement additional attributes.
All of these are common between IPv4Network
and IPv6Network
,
so to avoid duplication they are only documented for IPv4Network
.
Network objects are hashable, so they can be used as keys in
dictionaries.
- class ipaddress.IPv4Network(address, strict=True)¶
Construct an IPv4 network definition. address can be one of the following:
A string consisting of an IP address and an optional mask, separated by a slash (
/
). The IP address is the network address, and the mask can be either a single number, which means it's a prefix, or a string representation of an IPv4 address. If it's the latter, the mask is interpreted as a net mask if it starts with a non-zero field, or as a host mask if it starts with a zero field, with the single exception of an all-zero mask which is treated as a net mask. If no mask is provided, it's considered to be/32
.For example, the following address specifications are equivalent:
192.168.1.0/24
,192.168.1.0/255.255.255.0
and192.168.1.0/0.0.0.255
.An integer that fits into 32 bits. This is equivalent to a single-address network, with the network address being address and the mask being
/32
.An integer packed into a
bytes
object of length 4, big-endian. The interpretation is similar to an integer address.A two-tuple of an address description and a netmask, where the address description is either a string, a 32-bits integer, a 4-bytes packed integer, or an existing IPv4Address object; and the netmask is either an integer representing the prefix length (e.g.
24
) or a string representing the prefix mask (e.g.255.255.255.0
).
An
AddressValueError
is raised if address is not a valid IPv4 address. ANetmaskValueError
is raised if the mask is not valid for an IPv4 address.If strict is
True
and host bits are set in the supplied address, thenValueError
is raised. Otherwise, the host bits are masked out to determine the appropriate network address.Unless stated otherwise, all network methods accepting other network/address objects will raise
TypeError
if the argument's IP version is incompatible toself

Construct an IPv6 network definition. address can be one of the following:
A string consisting of an IP address and an optional prefix length, separated by a slash (
/
). The IP address is the network address, and the prefix length must be a single number, the prefix. If no prefix length is provided, it's considered to be/128

Operators¶
Network objects support some operators. Unless stated otherwise, operators can only be applied between compatible objects (i.e. IPv4 with IPv4, IPv6 with IPv6).
Logical operators¶
Network objects can be compared with the usual set of logical operators. Network objects are ordered first by network address, then by net mask.
Iteration¶
Network objects can be iterated to list all the addresses belonging to the
network. For iteration, all hosts are returned, including unusable hosts
(for usable hosts, use the hosts()
method). An
example:
>>> for addr in IPv4Network('192.0.2.0/28'):
... addr
...
IPv4Address('192.0.2.0')
IPv4Address('192.0.2.1')
IPv4Address('192.0.2.2')

IPv4Address('192.0.2.7')
IPv4Address('192.0.2.8')
IPv4Address('192.0.2.9')
IPv4Address('192.0.2.10')
IPv4Address('192.0.2.11')
IPv4Address('192.0.2.12')
IPv4Address('192.0.2.13')
IPv4Address('192.0.2.14')
IPv4Address('192.0.2.15')
Networks as containers of addresses¶
Network objects can act as containers of addresses. Some examples:
>>> IPv4Network('192.0.2.0/28')[0]
IPv4Address('192.0.2.0')
>>> IPv4Network('192.0.2.0/28')[15]
IPv4Address('192.0.2.15')
>>> IPv4Address('192.0.2.6') in IPv4Network('192.0.2.0/28')
True
>>> IPv4Address('192.0.3.6') in IPv4Network('192.0.2.0/28')
False
Interface objects¶
Interface objects are hashable, so they can be used as keys in dictionaries.
- class ipaddress.IPv4Interface(address)¶
Construct an IPv4 interface. The meaning of address is as in the constructor of
IPv4Network
, except that arbitrary host addresses are always accepted.IPv4Interface
is a subclass ofIPv4Address
, so it inherits all the attributes from that class. In addition, the following attributes are available:- ip¶
The address (
IPv4Address
) without network information.>>> interface = IPv4Interface('192.0.2.5/24') >>> interface.ip IPv4Address('192.0.2.5')
- network¶
The network (
IPv4Network
) this interface belongs to.>>> interface = IPv4Interface('192.0.2.5/24') >>> interface.network IPv4Network('192.0.2.0/24')
- with_prefixlen¶
A string representation of the interface with the mask in prefix notation.
>>> interface = IPv4Interface('192.0.2.5/24') >>> interface.with_prefixlen '192.0.2.5/24'
- with_netmask¶
A string representation of the interface with the network as a net mask.
>>> interface = IPv4Interface('192.0.2.5/24') >>> interface.with_netmask '192.0.2.5/255.255.255.0'
- with_hostmask¶
A string representation of the interface with the network as a host mask.
>>> interface = IPv4Interface('192.0.2.5/24') >>> interface.with_hostmask '192.0.2.5/0.0.0.255'
- class ipaddress.IPv6Interface(address)¶
Construct an IPv6 interface. The meaning of address is as in the constructor of
IPv6Network
, except that arbitrary host addresses are always accepted.IPv6Interface
is a subclass ofIPv6Address
, so it inherits all the attributes from that class. In addition, the following attributes are available:- ip¶
- network¶
- with_prefixlen¶
- with_netmask¶
- with_hostmask¶
Refer to the corresponding attribute documentation in
IPv4Interface
.
Operators¶
Interface objects support some operators. Unless stated otherwise, operators can only be applied between compatible objects (i.e. IPv4 with IPv4, IPv6 with IPv6).
Logical operators¶
Interface objects can be compared with the usual set of logical operators.
For equality comparison (==
and !=
), both the IP address and network
must be the same for the objects to be equal. An interface will not compare
equal to any address or network object.
For ordering (<
, >
, etc) the rules are different. Interface and
address objects with the same IP version can be compared, and the address
objects will always sort before the interface objects. Two interface objects
are first compared by their networks and, if those are the same, then by their
IP addresses.
Other Module Level Functions¶
The module also provides the following module level functions:
- ipaddress.v4_int_to_packed(address)¶
Represent an address as 4 packed bytes in network (big-endian) order. address is an integer representation of an IPv4 IP address. A
ValueError
is raised if the integer is negative or too large to be an IPv4 IP address.>>> ipaddress.ip_address(3221225985) IPv4Address('192.0.2.1') >>> ipaddress.v4_int_to_packed(3221225985) b'\xc0\x00\x02\x01'
- ipaddress.v6_int_to_packed(address)¶
Represent an address as 16 packed bytes in network (big-endian) order. address is an integer representation of an IPv6 IP address. A
ValueError
is raised if the integer is negative or too large to be an IPv6 IP address.
- ipaddress.summarize_address_range(first, last)¶
Return an iterator of the summarized network range given the first and last IP addresses. first is the first
IPv4Address
orIPv6Address
in the range and last is the lastIPv4Address
orIPv6Address
in the range. ATypeError
is raised if first or last are not IP addresses or are not of the same version. AValueError
is raised if last is not greater than first or if first address version is not 4 or 6.>>> [ipaddr for ipaddr in ipaddress.summarize_address_range( ... ipaddress.IPv4Address('192.0.2.0'), ... ipaddress.IPv4Address('192.0.2.130'))] [IPv4Network('192.0.2.0/25'), IPv4Network('192.0.2.128/31'), IPv4Network('192.0.2.130/32')]
- ipaddress.collapse_addresses(addresses)¶
Return an iterator of the collapsed
IPv4Network
orIPv6Network
objects. addresses is an iterable ofIPv4Network
orIPv6Network
objects. ATypeError
is raised if addresses contains mixed version objects.>>> [ipaddr for ipaddr in ... ipaddress.collapse_addresses([ipaddress.IPv4Network('192.0.2.0/25'), ... ipaddress.IPv4Network('192.0.2.128/25')])] [IPv4Network('192.0.2.0/24')]
- ipaddress.get_mixed_type_key(obj)¶
Return a key suitable for sorting between networks and addresses. Address and Network objects are not sortable by default; they're fundamentally different, so the expression:
IPv4Address('192.0.2.0') <= IPv4Network('192.0.2.0/24')
doesn't make sense. There are some times however, where you may wish to have
ipaddress
sort these anyway. If you need to do this, you can use this function as the key argument tosorted()
.obj is either a network or address object.
Custom Exceptions¶
To support more specific error reporting from class constructors, the module defines the following exceptions:
- exception ipaddress.AddressValueError(ValueError)¶
Any value error related to the address.
- exception ipaddress.NetmaskValueError(ValueError)¶
Any value error related to the net mask.
