subnet - Python 3: create a list of possible ip addresses from a CIDR notation

Question

I have been handed the task of creating a function in python (3.1) that will take a CIDR notation and return the list of possible ip addresses. I have looked around python.org and found this: http://docs.python.org/dev/py3k/library/ipaddr.html

but i haven't seen anything that will fill this need... I would be very grateful for any assistance anyone cares to kick my way. thanks in advance. :-)

Answer 1

In Python 3 as simple as

>>> import ipaddress
>>> [str(ip) for ip in ipaddress.IPv4Network('192.0.2.0/28')]
['192.0.2.0', '192.0.2.1', '192.0.2.2',
'192.0.2.3', '192.0.2.4', '192.0.2.5',
'192.0.2.6', '192.0.2.7', '192.0.2.8',
'192.0.2.9', '192.0.2.10', '192.0.2.11',
'192.0.2.12', '192.0.2.13', '192.0.2.14',
'192.0.2.15']
