ip.src and ip.dst return gibberish values

[GoogleCodeExporter]

try using ip.src or ip.dst, returns are not as expected :-/

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
expected: 10.42.0.something
got: *$

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
1.6 on ubuntu

Please provide any additional information below.

ip.src and ip.dst are stored as four raw bytes, not as printable strings.

Do the following:
import socket
...
print socket.inet_ntoa( ip.src )

You can convert the rawbyte character to int with built-in function ord,

ie:

>>> '.'.join([str(ord(c)) for c in ip.src])

Outputs something like: '10.1.0.233'

Here is a patch for ip.py that shows the ip in readable form when you use 
repr().
This issue has been brought up before.
