The only exceptions to this parsing would be if someone handed you a textual representation of an IPv4 mapped address (::ffff:192.0.2.50), which essentially represents the partial decimal format Masataka is requesting.
I might be missing something here, but isn't that format already valid for any IPv6 address, not just the special v4-in-v6 representation?
import socket p = '2001:abcd::192.16.10.10' n = socket.inet_pton(socket.AF_INET6, p) socket.inet_ntop(socket.AF_INET6, n) '2001:abcd::c010:a0a'
Or is the issue just the ntop part not giving you back the decimalized string? -- Chip Marshall <chip@2bithacker.net> http://weblog.2bithacker.net/ KB1QYW PGP key ID 43C4819E v4sw5PUhw4/5ln5pr5FOPck4ma4u6FLOw5Xm5l5Ui2e4t4/5ARWb7HKOen6a2Xs5IMr2g6CM
