Feature Request: support hex() for pxelinux style ips #5

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
It'd be nice to easily get the hex for ipv4 addresses for use with
applications that use that such as pxelinux.

I think there are too many variations on this, and it only works for IPv4 /32s 
and
IPv6 /128s.

For example, 1.2.3.4/32 would become which of the following?

  0x01020304  # hex(ip.int)
  0x04030201  # NBO
  01020304    # '%08x' % ip.int (IPv6 would be '%032x' % ip.int)

1.2.3.0/24 in hex doesn't make sense, unless we do '0x01020304/0x18' ?

Not implementing this means the user is free to do whatever variation they need.

I'm happy for this issue to be closed and letting the api user do what they need
having thought about it more

Thanks pnasrat.  It was a good suggestion, though.  Keep them coming!
