Open 99ffcaa5-b43b-4e8e-a35e-9c890007b9cd opened 7 years ago
It looks like, due to bpo-16722, in bpo-15559, __index__ was removed from ipaddress objects. bpo-16722 was fixed a few months later, but the comments asking for it to be readded were put on a closed issue, so no one noticed.
Can __index__ support be readded now? Should be as simple as undoing https://hg.python.org/cpython/rev/5abea8a43f19 (probably manually, assuming the subsequent history would make a direct rollback nonfeasible).
Nosying the folks involved in fixing the original bugs.
Why __index__ support is needed?
From the original bugs, it looks like people liked being able to directly produce the hex of the IP addresses using hex(). I'll admit I'm only +0.5 on restoring __index__; having them be equivalent to int, not just convertable, doesn't seem critical. I just noticed the original bugs (don't even remember why I found them) and figured the functionality should be restored, per the comments on those bugs.
