[Python-modules-team] Bug#460234: check_addr_prefixlen exposes bug in net()/broadcast()/overlaps() methods

[martin f krafft]

retitle 460234 check_addr_prefixlen exposes bug in net() method
thanks

I didn't see http://pypi.python.org/pypi/IPy/0.55 but was looking at
old documentation. IPy has a global option,
IPy.check_addr_prefixlen, which, if False, allows for "uncommon"
prefixes. Now, IP('172.30.1.14/22') seems to work.

However, now the net() and broadcast() methods return garbage:

In [50]: IP('172.30.1.14/22').net()
Out[50]: IP('172.30.1.14')

In [51]: IP('172.30.1.14/22').broadcast()
Out[51]: IP('172.30.5.13')

When in fact the addresses should be 172.30.0.0 and 172.30.3.255.

This works, but prevents me from saving the prefix length with the IP.

In [63]: IP('172.30.1.14').make_net(22)
Out[63]: IP('172.30.0.0/22')

Also,

IP('172.30.1.14/22').overlaps('127.30.0.50/24') == 0

which is wrong.
