Personally, I can't imaging wanting that behavior. I can't say I've ever needed additional at all with an IP address, but if I did, it would only be to stay within the host portion. To wrap around seems odd. If you had a /24 address and added 1000, should that really be the same as adding 232 (= 1000 % 256)? It seems more likely it's an error. I'm +0 on adding addition with an OverflowError for the host portion, and -1 on addition with modulo arithmetic. -- Eric. _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
