IP Address Tools

This Python module provides functions for working with IP addresses, including converting IP addresses to binary representation, determining their classes, and comparing them based on subnetting information.

Functions

1. convert_ip_to_binary(ip_address)

Converts an IP address to a list of binary strings for each octet.

Parameters:

• ip_address (str): The input IP address in dot-decimal notation.

Returns:

• list: A list of binary strings representing each octet.

Example Usage:

from ip_address_tools import convert_ip_to_binary

binary_representation = convert_ip_to_binary("10.10.112.34")
print(binary_representation)
# Output: ['00001010', '00001010', '01110000', '00100010']

2. get_ip_class_info(ip_address)

Determines the class information of an IP address.

Parameters:

ip_address (str): The input IP address in dot-decimal, binary, or hex notation.

Returns:

tuple: A tuple containing the IP class, subnet mask length, and default subnet mask.

Example Usage:

from ip_address_tools import get_ip_class_info

class_info = get_ip_class_info("192.168.1.1")
print(class_info)
# Output: ('C', 24, '255.255.255.0')

3. convert_ip_format(ip_address, output_format = 'b')

Converts an IP address between different formats (binary, hex, decimal).

Parameters:

ip_address (str): The input IP address. output_format (str, optional): The desired output format ('b' for binary, 'h' for hex, 'd' for decimal). Default is 'b'.

Returns:

str: The converted IP address in the specified format.

Example Usage:

from ip_address_tools import convert_ip_format

converted_ip = convert_ip_format("192.168.241.14", output_format = 'b')
print(converted_ip)
# Output: '192.168.241.14'

4. compare_ip_addresses(ip1, ip2, mask1 = None, mask2 = None)

Compares two IP addresses based on subnetting information.

Parameters:

ip1 (str): The first IP address in dot-decimal, binary, or hex notation. ip2 (str): The second IP address in dot-decimal, binary, or hex notation. mask1 (str, optional): The subnet mask for the first IP address. mask2 (str, optional): The subnet mask for the second IP address.

Returns:

bool: True if the two IPs are subnets of the same net, False otherwise.

Example Usage:

from ip_address_tools import compare_ip_addresses

result = compare_ip_addresses("10.10.112.34", "10.10.119.254")
print(result)
# Output: True
