Message279862
Quick googling did not turn up anything like a credible authoritative reference for this, but in actual practice, I have seen /32 used to designate a single individual IP address in CIDR notation quite a lot.
I can see roughly three options:
1. Status quo. Silently surprise users who expect this to work.
2. Silently fix. Hard-code /32 to return a range of one IP address.
3. Let users choose. Similarly to the "strict=True" keyword argument in the constructor method, the code could allow for either lenient or strict semantics.
By the by, I don't see how the bug you linked to is relevant here, did you mistype the bug number? #27863 is about _elementtree |
