You've indicated no preference either way, and have said:

"I personally have no plans for using this library, or any other IP
address library"

I should think you would seek the opinion of those developers who
actually do have plans to use an IP address library. As far as I can
tell, every developer in that category, outside of Google, that has
commented on this issue here or in python-dev has advocated a
different API.
