I thought it was really odd that the standard library documentation references ipaddr, a module from pypi, not something else in the standard library.

The documentation should explain that the referenced package is not a standard part of Python.

http://docs.python.org/library/socket.html#socket.inet_pton

ipaddr.BaseIP.packed()
    Platform-independent conversion to a packed, binary format.

Also ipaddr.BaseIP.packed is a property, not a method, so no ()

unittest also does this, but it does so at the top and references projects as a whole, rather than individual functions/classes in the project.

Seems like this should be taken out. It doesn't exist in any version after 2.6.

I removed it in r77814.
